Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Room At The Top Lyrics

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Lyrics

"Room At The Top"

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, I ain't comin' down

I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm alright
Look deep in the eyes of love, look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down (Yeah)

I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I wanna reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down

Tom Petty considered this song so emotionally intense that he didn't play it any more after the "Echo" tour was over. During the creation of the album he went through a very difficult period of his life, which was reflected in this song and several others from the album.

Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) sang a cover of this song at the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony to commemorate the late Tom Petty who died in October 2017.
