Tom Petty - Makin' Some Noise lyrics

When i was a young boy I was workin' for the state I wasn't makin' much money I was stayin' out late Go down at nighttime and Play music in the bars Take my breaks out underneath the stars I was makin' some noise I was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise" I had to rock the boat, i had to shake the tree To see what'd fall down on me I thought "maybe i can make it if i never give in I been down before, i ain't goin' down again" I'm makin' some noise I been a worried boy up at the top of my voice Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise" From across the canyon a guitar plays Through an amplifier on a long delay It was an ol d melody i recognized the song I had an amplifier too, so i played along I'm makin' some noise, i'm still a working boy Up at the top of my voice Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise" I'm makin' some noise, i been a long gone boy
