"Say Hello To Gainesville" lyrics

Orange juice with natural vitamin C
Growing down in Florida on the sunshine tree
Say hello to Gainesville if you will for me
Underneath the sunshine tree

"Runnin' Down a Dream", well, that's a damn good tune
Who would think Tom Petty'd leave us all so soon?
I would say Free Fallin's like a lifelong thing
Who knows what the next day brings?

Looking at a photograph you snapped of me
Back when it was taken, I was 53
That's the year Tom Petty played the Super Bowl
Superbowl meets rock 'n' roll

Make yourself feel happy in an Old School way
Lose your troubles driving out on old King's Bay
Sunny sounding motels look just like they did
To a nineteen-sixties kid

Everything we're singing's from a bygone time
Listen to the guitars and the loose half rhymes
Photographs of Tom are in the past tense, y'all
Rickenbacker smiles and all

Looking at a photograph you snapped of me
Back when it was taken, I was 53
That's the year Tom Petty played the Super Bowl
Superbowl meets rock 'n' roll

Say hello to Gainesville if you will for me
And whatever's growing on the sunshine tree
Talking 'bout some juice with natural vitamin C
Growing on the sunshine tree

Growing on the sunshine tree
Say hello to Gainesville if you will for me
Say hello to Gainesville
