Tom Petty & Jeff LynneAbout
One of Petty’s most vivid story songs chronicling the demise of a guitar-toting “rebel without a clue” who comes to Los Angeles and gets eaten alive by the record industry.
The music video for the song was directed by Julien Temple and starred Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway, as well as Petty himself...
Into the Great Wide Open Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo, too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
[Chorus]
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
[Verse 2]
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open (Oh)
[Chorus]
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue (Ayy)
