Tom Petty
The Best Of Everything (Alternate Version)
[Verse 1]
She probably works in a restaurant
That's what her mama did
But I don't know if she ever really could've put up with it
Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
'Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don't know if it ever amounted to anything
So listen, honey
[Chorus]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's a rough way of living
And that's a hard price to pay, baby
She'd looked around and she
Just couldn't see it any other way
'Cause being good looking had its limits
And the rich all seem so bored
Well, some said they were happy
But they never really looked sure
So listen, baby
[Chorus]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for, oh
[Verse 3]
Yeah, and it's over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
And the bad nights take forever
And the good nights don't ever seem to last
And man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back then, we didn't understand
What we were caught up in
So listen honey
[Chorus]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
Yeah, baby, wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
