Two Men Talking - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

We got two men talkin' right outside my door, yeah

We got two men talkin' right outside my door

Said they made my boy a soldier

Sent him off to war.

Well, are youse gonna stand?

No, I can’t say for sure.

No, I can’t

Well, I got one wheel turning

One that’s off the tracks

Well, I got one wheel turning

One that’s off the tracks

I can put all I own inside a paper sack

Well when the hard times come, you’re gonna see who’s got your back

Sure will

Yeah, I lost that good woman

Lord, she left me twice

Yeah, I lost that good woman

Lord, she left me twice

Well, I shoulda tried much harder

Tried to treat her nice

I used to be someone that I don’t recognise

Talking by the rule

Well, we got two men talkin'

Talking by the rule

And it hurt more than it showed

I heard one man laugh

Said «Brother, we tread a heavy load.»

That’s right
