I remember blasting this song while driving through the Florida Everglades, watching the great blue open sky before me as I drove along to brilliant sunshine. It felt so absolutely perfect and I felt so good.
No one wrote a song for a road trip like Tom Petty. No one.
RIP Tom.

It's a song about a road trip that is perfect to listen to while on a road trip.
