Lyrics

By tom petty

Sometimes I wanna leave here
Sometimes I wanna go right back where I came from
Back where I belong
But it never lasts for too long, it always goes away
And I still don't look for reasons
That's much too hard these days

Why worry 'bout the rain?
Why worry 'bout the thunder?
Century city's got everything covered

Well, your mama gave you lovin'
Mama held you near
Now mama can't do nothin'
Baby, mama just ain't here
And you can pretend all you want to do
But that won't work no more
And you can't run back to daddy
You tried that once before

But why worry 'bout your daddy?
Why worry 'bout your mother?
Century city's got everything covered

We're gonna live in century city
Go ahead and give in (century city) like modern men
And modern girls, we're gonna live in the modern world

Sometimes I get discouraged
Sometimes I feel so down
Sometimes I get so worried
And I don't know what about
But it works out in the long run
It always goes away
I've come now to accept it
As a reoccurring phase

Why worry 'bout the rain?
Why worry 'bout the thunder?
