Swingin' Lyrics - Echo - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Well, she was standing by the highway 

In her boots and silver spurs 

Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon 

When a Cadillac stopped for her 

And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?" 

Yeah, that's when it happened 

The world caught fire that day 

And she went down swingin' 

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Well, she was over twenty-one 

In trouble with the law 

And it didn't faze her none 

She called her mother-in-law 

And said I need a little money 

I knew I could count on you 

After that night in Vegas 

And the hell that we went through 

We went down swingin' 

Like Benny Goodman 

Yeah, we went down swingin' 

Moonlight on the interstate 

She was 'cross the Georgia line 

Looked out the window feeling great 

Yeah, it had to come in time 

And she said I'm never goin' back 

She said at last I'm free 

I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me 

She went down swingin' 

Like Glenn Miller 

Yeah, she went down swingin' 

Like Tommy Dorsey 

Yeah, she went down swingin' 

Like Sammy Davis 

She went down swingin' 

Like Sonny Liston
