Makin' Some Noise - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

When I was a young boy

I was workin' for the state

I wasn’t makin' much money

I was stayin' out late

Go down at nighttime and

Play music in the bars

Take my breaks out underneath the stars

CHORUS

I was makin' some noise

I was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice

Sayin', «Look at me mama I’m makin' some noise>»

I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree

To see what’d fall down on me

I thought, «Maybe I can make it if I never give in I been down before, I ain’t goin' down again.»

CHORUS

>From across the canyon a guitar plays

Through an amplifier on long delay

It was an old melody, I recognized the song

I had an amplifier too, so I played along

I’m makin' some noise, I’m still a working boy

Up at the top of my voice

Sayin', «Look at me Mama I’m makin' some noise.»

I7m makin' some noise, I been a long gone boy
