“Kings Highway” provides a brilliant display of Petty’s optimistic lyricism, coupled with Producer Jeff Lynne’s contribution of an uplifting and visceral composition, whose impact upon intended audiences can find its best summation in this quote from Petty’s 1999 interview with Alan Bangs:
Young p...
[Verse 1]
When the time gets right, I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far way from trouble, my love
Under a big ol' sky out in a field of green
There's gotta be something left for us to believe
[Chorus]
Oh, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway
[Verse 2]
No, you can't hide out in a six-gun town
We wanna hold our heads up, but we gotta stay down
I don't wanna end up in a room all alone
Don't wanna end up someone that I don't even know
[Chorus]
Lover, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway
Yeah, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway
Yeah, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway
