Great track. He references San Fernando valley (The Valley) a lot in the lyrics to this song. Even mentions Ventura Blvd which is a famous street that runs all through The Valley. I used to live 4 streets over from Ventura Blvd when I lived in Sherman Oaks for years which is dead smack in the middle of The Valley. "Vampires"....Yeah, very cool song.

love that song. 
I have a case of 80's nostalgia. Who would have thought of this time as simpler. [Edited 8/27/09 14:15pm] | |

I've just recently delved into the Petty catalog and have been really impressed with how talented the man is. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

And the followup was pretty good too. Great memories around that album "A face in the crowd" is a good song off that album. Never cared for "free fallin'" though. Jeff Lynne was helping writing/producing for pretty much all the Travelling willburies around that time LOL. [Edited 8/28/09 16:39pm] | |

"Free Fallin’"
Shes a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America too Shes a good girl, crazy bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend too It's a long day living in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin' All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Boulevard And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows All the good girls are home with broken hearts And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin' Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm I wanna glide down over Mulholland I wanna write her name in the sky Gonna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for a while And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin' RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Nothing touches Tom's and Axl's duet on this song. Axl totally overpowers him though
