Makin' Some Noise Lyrics - Tom Petty

When I was a young boy 

I was working for the state 

I wasn't making much money 

I was staying out late 

Go down at nighttime 

Playing music in the bars 

Take my breaks out underneath the stars. 

I was making some noise! 

I was a working boy 

Up at the top of my voice saying 

Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!

I had to rock the boat 

I had to shake the tree 

To see what fall down on me 

I thought maybe I could make it 

If I never give in 

I've been down before, I ain't goin' down again. 

I'm making some noise! 

I've been a worried boy 

Up at the top of my voice saying 

Look at me mama, I'm making some noise! 

(Guitar solo) 

From across the canyon 

A guitar plays 

Through an amplifier on a long delay 

It was an old melody, I recognized the song 

I had an amplifier too, so I played along

I'm making some noise! 

Im still a working boy 

At the top of my voice saying 

Look at me mama, I'm making some noise! 

I'm making some noise! 

I've been a long, gone boy 

At the top of my voice saying 

Look at me mama, I'm making some noise! 

I'm making some noise! 

I'm making some noise!
