Helen has given us a tricky one this week, “Plan.”
The first thing I usually do to find songs if something doesn’t come up for me immediately is to go to my iTunes playlist. I have at this moment almost 3000 songs in all genres (except hip hop and rap) so I am usually able to find a song or two to use. Today I typed “plan” and this is what was first on the list:
Tom Petty’s “American Dream Plan B”
I don’t care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I’m gonna find out for myself someday
But I’m half-lit, I can’t dance for shit
Bu I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl’s alright, treats me nice
Sayin’ nothin’ but a woman puts out that light
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Makin’ moves to get us someway someday
Well my honey don’t trip, shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gonna be ok
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
Guitar Solo
Well, my mama so sad
Daddy’s just mad
‘Cuz I aint gonna have the chance he had
My success is anybody’s guess
But like a fool, I’m bettin’ on happiness
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
“I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right” love those words. Since MY dream is to create a happy life, I’m going to keep fighting til I get it right!
We were fortunate enough to see Tom Petty twice before he passed away. I still can’t get over that fact and I am not sure why but I was particularly affected by his death. I can’t remember ever actually crying about a celebrity passing but I did when he left us.
Ever get particularly affected when a celebrity died? Have a Plan B for your dream? Love to hear about it! Make sure to visit the other Song Lyric Sunday participants. There’s some good stuff out there!

I hadn’t heard this song before, but I really enjoyed it. I don’t think a celebrity’s passing has ever affected me that deeply. My husband, however, is constantly paying attention to things like that. As for Plan B, I feel like my whole life has been Plan B. LOL

I actually hadn’t heard this one before, which is strange, because we like lots of his songs. It was a shock when he passed. I do like this one a lot! 🙂

It is off one of his newer albums, Hypnotic Eye. It may even have been his last album. There are a couple of gems on it.
