CommentsRecorded at: Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA. Additional recording and mixed at: Johnny Yuma Recordings, Burbank, CA "This was kind of the same idea as 'Keeping Me Alive' but much darker," Petty says. "It's almost Buddy Holly-ish, or an 'I Fought the Law' kind of feel. It's kind of an ominous song, though I think an optimistic one. I thought it hung together really well and had really great changes, great tension. After I saw that it wasn't going to make Long After Dark, I sent it to Lone Justice, who wanted a song after 'Ways to Be Wicked', and they didn't do it. When I heard it back recently, it sounded great to me."
