Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Swingin' [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Going to 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

[Chorus]
And she went down swinging
Yeah, she went down swinging

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
We went down swinging
Like Benny Goodman
Yeah, we went down swinging

[Verse 3]
Moonlight on the interstate
She was across the Georgia line
Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time
And she said I'm never going back
She said at last I'm free
I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me

[Chorus]
She went down swinging
Like Glenn Miller
Yeah, she went down swinging
Like Tommy Dorsey
Yeah, she went down swinging
Like Sammy Davis
She went down swinging
Like Sonny Liston
