  • First Drafts of Rock take a look at the original version of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" - entitled "Free Horses." Lyrics below:
    She’s a good girl, loves her mama
    Loves horses, and America too
    She’s a good girl, crazy ‘bout Elvis
    Loves horses, and her boyfriend too.
    She loves horses, and she also loves rainbows
    She loves flowers, and horses too
    She likes football, but she really loves horses
    Yeah those horses, she really really loves.
    But if there’s one thing, she loves most about horses
    It’s that they’re horses, that’s the one thing
    So just to be clear, she’s a fan of the horses,
    She loves horses, la de da de da.
    She digs horses, yeah she’s nuts about horses
    She enjoys hor, ses yeah she does
    She loves horse hair, horse teeth and horse noses
    She loves horseshoes, and horses too.
    She likes ponies, but not as much as horses
    She likes horses, much much more
    She likes unicorns, but she calls ‘em “horny horses”
    She loves horses, yeah that’s what she loves.
    She doesn’t like goats, and she don’t like llamas,
    She don’t care for, them crazy kangaroos,
    And I’m a bad boy, cuz I don’t like horses
    She loves horses, Ventura Boulevard.
    Now I’m free! Free horses!
    Now I’m free! Free horses!

    For those who don't know: Jimmy Fallon is supposed to be Mike Campbell. Jacksonville born but he eventually found his way to Gainesville too. He's been Tom Petty's lead guitarist almost since the beginning, and he also co-wrote music with Tom throughout their careers. He wrote the music to "Refugee" and Tom was the lyricist. He's one of the original Heartbreakers.

    • @Smooth0vibrations
      @Smooth0vibrations Před 4 lety +1

      no he is supposed to be JEFF LYNNE, the guy they showed at the beginnign with the massive curly hair? Look at a picture of Mike Cambell and then Jeff Lynne and you tell me who he looks more like. PS. Jeff Lynne produced Free Fallin that's why he s there making weird faces at the "first horses draft"
