Lyrics:
I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so
I'm flyin' over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
I'm moving on alone over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There's a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You're rolling up the carpet
Of your father's two-room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more
And there's a corner of the floor
They're telling you is yours
You're confident but not really sure
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace

This song is criminally underrated
You got that right 👍
My god is it EVER
He was such a legend already that he comes out with this and people don't even blink... like WHAT!? This fucken rules.
This whole album is criminally underrated ❤
oh my my oh hell yes
I am 57 years old and have had a lot of artists die during my lifetime. None has affected me as much as Tom Petty's passing. I only got to see him once.
You got to see him! That's awesome. My friend regrets not going with me... she never saw him
@@ktgott7824. I feel the same way about Led Zeppelin.
Absolutely agree.
we will never see likes like tom petty ever again never forget
Broke my heart. And I saw him just once too -- down in Gainesville.
i dont care what anyone says tom petty is one of the best songwriters and singers of all time
Amen!
Charlie Bortolin I know all the way 🎤💕👍
Exactly!!
Tom Petty was an American enigma
They have no idea about true music!
If you don't identify with Petty's lyrics, you have lived a sheltered life! Love him.
C Wes Yes i know that’s the beauty of it 🎤🎸💕
In a world where every opinion is bought and sold with tiny painless pieces of soul there's a kind of pride in sifting through the detritus to find and keep such a thing as authenticity sacred and in that realm Tom is gold.
"I'm passing sleeping cities" ... goosebumps as I imagined his soul leaving his body tonight!! RIP Tom!! Just honest rock and roll that has never ever faded! Always loved this man!!
Miss you always Tom! Thanks for the awesome music you left the world with!
Absolutely one of the all-time greats!! He will be missed
Legendary…..finding my grace!
We are still with you on this.
and The Heartbreakers.
He truly rocks the hell out of this song. Love this tune. Fantastic lyrics. Most importantly he is one of the few who stays true to himself and doesn't waiver from that. That takes a great deal of courage in the cut throat business he has chosen. I realize he makes his living off the music, but I believe for him, it's all about the music, not the almighty dollar.
Hence,"I Won't Back Down".
Can't believe ya never heard this tune on radio. Phanominal !
@@jeffcalvagno8977 Music industry didn't care for him not buying their bullshit. Look up his song Last DJ... I heard it literally once, and never again on radio. I miss the man, he was truly exceptional.
@@kleetus92 Yeah, Petty was known as a staunch guardian of his artistic control and artistic freedom. In the late 70's he was embroiled in a legal battle over the fact that ABC records was sold to MCA records. He was furious with them for making this major change without his consent. He wants complete control of his music and the record labels don't like to give in to the artist's. And in his case, THAT doesn't fly. Don't blame him a bit for standing his ground.
I float.😃
"Saving Grace"
I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so
I'm flyin' over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
I'm moving on alone over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There's a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You're rolling up the carpet
Of your father's two-room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more
And there's a corner of the floor
They're telling you is yours
You're confident but not really sure
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
Thanks, MR for laying out the Lyrics..3 years on..
#Dylanesque?
Tom, Thanks for all You gave us........Fly Free Brother and say Hi to George and Roy
What a loss.....still getting emotional when I remember he's gone...
I know,it’s still unbelievable that he’s no longer with us. 🙏
I hope my neighbors like this song as well.
Buick Bubba lol right on
YES, WE DO!!
Buick Bubba my neighbors like it. We were listening to it tonight on my new speakers. :)) lol
loll Personally I DON'T care if they like it or not. I've not seen this particular video before; I'm wondering if it's one of those they did, but just now being released by his family?
After living next to me for a year my neighbors like ALL Tom Petty songs hahah
Every song by Tom Petty is one of his best songs.
As a drummer, I just love the cymbal stand intro! This song is so amazing.
Tom played the drums on Saving Grace
Steve Ferrone did
Yes, and then I also really liked the delayed crash just a half a second after the main rhythm drives in. I thought that was brilliant.
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 No, on the album, Tom actually played drums. And he’s actually a pretty good drummer.
He's hitting the high hat stand open. A lone cymbal won't hiss like that.
I can't believe the low view count on this. It should be millions. One of the best rock songs ever!
Sam Pelczarski
Don't let your expectations cloud your judgement. It is a great song and I love it. I listen to all genre of music. At the end of the day. Every individual has different tastes.
Absolutely
Oh for f's sake, it's 2018 and surely people should be lining up to say that this was the best band possibly ever.
Sam Pelczarski so right
I was going to see Tom in So. Cal Many Full Moons Ago... Internet didnt rate this Man . Keep listening
One of the best driving songs ever!
Merci Bleus Truly!!!!
It’s been almost 3 weeks since his passing. It has been very difficult for me to process. I’m still emotionally drained. The tears just keep coming. Tom’s music has been there my whole adult life. I feel blessed, but yet empty. I’m forever grateful. RIP Rock Legend❤️
So right I'm still drained from losing this guy damn he was amazing
Your words echoed my feelings 101% Deborah. I didn't even really understand it at the time as I had never gotten this feeling for a passing favorite rocker, but Tom was different. Somehow, with all the music, all the bands, somehow he connected with me on so many levels. The highs, the lows, the human behind the beat and that's why I cried like a baby when I heard of his passing, and was depressed for 2 weeks. I haven't felt that way for family members for God's sake, but all I can say was that it was an honest emotion, and how I felt, and that was his gift. That connection he gave us to his soul, and to the flawed and beautiful man behind the music. Thank you Tom for living, you made my journey better for knowing you through the music.
Still grieving and in disbelief. He was so much a part of my life.
wendalinajolie me too. Every year since I was a teenager a Tom Petty songs have grown right along with me. Such a tragic, unnecessary and sad loss for everyone who loved him. The songs do remember when, don’t they.
Whole adult life. Yes.
Probably the most underrated artist. No one ever says he is their favorite but everyone has his songs on their playlist.
I can say that Tom Petty is my favorite.
I definitely tell everyone who ask and even when they don't hands down best songs song writers and singer. I am from Jacksonville and his stomping grounds before being famous is Gainesville. I only wish I could have sewn him in concert. I love you Tom!
Facts
Don’t believe it…BS is everywhere…I didn’t discover him until 2016. And I was mid 60s. And I had a lot of catching up to do. It’s OK. So of course I never saw him at all. You got that 1x concert. congratulations.
He is my absolute favorite ❤
The shot of Mike and Benmont nodding in sync just makes me smile. Love these guys!
I'm still crying for Tom Petty. I don't understand why someone wasn't keeping an eye on his medications. He was on several different pills, it would be easy to get confused about how many he took. I'll probably grieve for him, the rest of my life. Such a talented man, a freaking genius. Miss and Love you Tom, RIP.
I still cry 4 years later! Just listened to disc 4 of live at the fillmore and I just started crying thinking he and the band were all thru my adulthood!!!
He was addicted to prescription meds that's how he died not the media line your told
@@darrenallison1422 well…his hip was broken. And we humans are human…why don’t ya drop it and move on…btw..what is your addiction in 2023?
This is honestly one his best songs.
No! It's NOT!
Oh but it is. Doesn't matter 70's, 80's, 90's, or 2000's, Tom can still pump em' out without slowin' down at all.
+Robert Bond that's what she said
he's awesome!! since day one till now....awesome! prolific
It is.
Sounds like it's in E minor. ........this man is incredible.............how many tunes
are still in him? How many great covers? Rock, rock and roll, blues,
some country, pop............GENIUS and the Breakers.......Proud to say
his boyhood home is 10 minutes away from me now............I'm a
musician, but this man is a huge gift of talent and all the emotions of
music. I go park in front of his boyhood home, to get the vibes, and to
thank him, thank him, thank him for giving my life invaluable person to
listen to , to play along with on my keyboards, to cry, to laugh, to
feel it all...................Hail TP and Breakers....Beatles of
today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to break it to you, man.
Yes he really is incredible Delyla I know he still have much in him and soon we'll get to hear them
So how are you doing, hope you're safe?
@@antoniorodgers1566 You ARE aware he died, aren't you?
Tom and The Heartbreakers can spin out a tune like only they can.....loved them for years.
This is what young kids should be listening to these days.
check out the Hypnotic Eye cd...whole thing is fantastic, sad to see him go
shannibutterfly I agree 100% today's bs ain't . Music
I am 11 and Tom Petty, George Jones, and ZZTop, are my favorites. Funny though, all the kids in my school listen to weird rap songs.
I'm 3 years old and I only listen to alcoholic gold-panners run spoons over rusty washboards.
Im 2 and only listen to elmo and this song
He just finds a way in his music that touches everyone .
Saving Grace is already going to be Another classic !
Woh, this is good. I'm glad youtube forced me here after "its good to be king"
frencheneesz love that vid
frencheneesz great song too
Thank you to Stallone and "Tulsa Kings" for bringing me back to this gem.
155 people are horribly confused about this masterpiece
Just heard this yesterday on the radio for the first time. I knew immediately it was Petty, but how has this not become one of his standards? Hidden gem I guess.
Van Alstyne no kidding me too just heard it this week
I think this must have been released shortly before he passed otherwise I'm sure I would have heard it before. Just stumbled on it in the internet.... & it kicks ASS!
@@deborahhanna6640 no this has been out for a while. At least since 2006. It wasnt a early work. But I remember hearing this in a concert in 2006. I hadn't gotten a Petty album since 1995-1996 and it I know it wasnt on any of those. I'm too lazy to google it. But it's one of his best and goes to show how good he was. He stuck to his sound his whole career and continued to make great songs well past his "prime" hit making years. He was a artist who stayed true to his sound and roots and never had to change to fit what modern bands were going to try and stay relevant. More than you can say for Metallica. They changed to whatever direction wind blew. I remember the late 90s early 2000s they were wearing makeup making terrible alt rock music cause that's the genre of rock getting most attention at the time. If they could I swear they would have tried to do numetal when it was popular cause they always wanna be on that money train and get every dime. They still touring now cause they know they can make alot being a nostalgic act. Since nostalgia is what sells in rock last 10 years. Man they really changed as a band and people once Black album made them biggest band In the world. Tom Petty never did and he also never sued his own fans for just wanting his music. I never met him but I was close when he came out to get on his bus. He stopped and signed everyone's stuff. I didnt have anything to sign. I just wanted a picture with him but I didnt egt it. But he appreciated every fan he had young and old. He was a great person. And the world is a more worse off place without him in it
@@thomasc.5219 Saving Grace was on the album Highway Companion, which came out in 2006. Some of his more recent albums from the past 15 years or so are pretty good, I would recommend checking a few out.
I was also so happy when I heard this on the radio for the first time just recently. When I was young I liked this song the best off the album and wondered why it wasn't on the radio. The answer was because he was before his time and now it is timeless. The legend is for real. Keep riding on ✌️
Its True. The Legend has just passed on into Heaven. See you down that road Mr. Petty, and thank you for all these great songs you leave behind for our generation and every generation to enjoy onward into eternity! RIP Brother!
Sjobeck7 I saw him in May for his 40th Anniversary Tour. Music has lost a legend. It just feels like something great missing in our world. I'm just sick inside.
I seen him in May as well, in West Palm Beach, sold out amphitheatre. It was incredible to say the least.
I'm ashamed to admit this...long time Petty fan, never heard this before... I guess I live under a rock?
Petty was a huge influence in music for me. "Highway Companion" lived in the CD deck of my ride for many years, among others. Melodic, clear and clean, his music is easy to pick up and hard to put down. Thanks for everything Tom. RIP
Good music is always tested through time. Tom is eternal
The world doesn’t spin if this band didn’t exist.
This has just become my favorite Tom Petty song. These guys are rocking the hell out of this song. The musicianship is incredible. And the tone of those guitars!
It's been about 100 degrees here in Oregon today, so I have every window open and I've got this baby at a pretty substantial volume level because I freaking love this tune. My neighbors, on either side of me, who are all good folk, have probably memorized the words, whether they wanted to or not. Thanks for rockin' me Mr. Petty.
Phenomenal Drummer 🎤💯
R.I.P. Tom. You will be missed and remembered.
Tom & Eddie back to back, both my favorites ever, what's going on here
Tom's boots look like the Beatles from A Hard Days Night era. Very cool!!
Man he's still got it. Tom is just awesome.
How old is he
+Luke brennan 65
he just passed away today ;[
Well not anymore he's fuckin dead
Caivex He’ll always have it, Mr. Charming, unlike you.
“ and it’s hard to say who you are these days... but you run on anyways”..
RIP .. missed by alll
Still a Tom Petty fan at 70 in 2023 ............
68.....today...... and still listening to one of the greatest, Tom Petty!
It was a sad day when Tom was called away to play the Big Stage.
Love this song. Tom Petty is missed beyond what he ever thought he would be.
he knows..
I saw Pearl Jam/Tom Petty in summer 2005 and he played this live, 1st time I had heard it and it's been a favorite ever since!
Lucky bastard to see that show... Plus Pearl Jam were on top of their game at that point
My heart is broken. 😣😢😭
Tom petty is and will always be a GOAT
Tom is the best....I'm 71 yrs young and Tom is oly about 8 years younger. Love his music! He is one of the great American POETS!
There’s a lot of great singer/songwriters out there and a lot of great bands but not one can compare to Tom and his gang.
2024 and still blasting tom!
Me too...my favorite: *I Won't Back Down,"
Born on this day(October 20) in 1950 the late, great Tom Petty. Cheers!🥨
He deserves to be in heaven, I would bet everything I have to say I bet he was a great guy to know.
Agreed . Just like a one of us. I miss him..
TP and his music is a kind of cool that won't pass this way again.
Thanks to Tom Petty for all the good times with his music!
I've watch more than my share of TP videos.
Between 2000 and 2010 these guys aged 30 years.
They're rolling up the carpet in your fathers 2-room mansion..Holy shit every time I hear that I STILL get goosebumps & so damn true
4 decades of epic music.. One of my favorite song writers of all time and this will be a cold dead world when he dies
Izzy Bell 9 months later N the world froze over! R.I.P tom petty
Yes it is. RIP TP. An American legend.
You just hadddd to say it.....R.I.P. tom
damn hes still so awesome man he don't let age stop him love it
This is definitely one of his best rockers also probably my favorite out of all his great songs
First song I've heard byTom Petty, and that was at 5 years old. This song never ages, but now Tom is gone. If heaven is real, he's definitely there.
Talk about a poet!
I L💘VE this song. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 💘. Greatest band that will EVER be on this Earth 🌹💘💘💘🌹💘💘💘🌹💘💘💘🌹💘💘💘🌹💘💘💘🌹
I can't believe Tom Petty has passed... this is the first song I thought of.. I had to run to it
Tom has the BEST band in the world!
Indeed, he does! Leonard Cohen doesn't fck around either when he's Live.
When Petty started collaborating with Jeff Lynne 'n playing together, I jus put my hands up 'n said, "fck it..ok, best band!" (Anything Jeff Lynne touches turns to Gold.. but with Tom as well?!! Holyyy- XD!)
Unfortunately, I never got to see Tom Petty Live :( But I have a couple Live albums, and OMGaaa!!! I prefer the songs off the entire LIVE albums, then I do the recorded studio versions. Which, for twenty-something songs, preferring EVERY.. single, one.. is quite rare.. (at least for me it is).
Idk why I jus wrote ALL of that.. I tend to stray off the original topic XD!
S B
Great song
I think we all took him for granted for four decades he was amazing
Very well said
Probably one of their lesser known pieces, but I think this is my favourite. ♡♡♡
Highway Companion… another brilliant album from Tom Petty… one of the greatest losses in rock … damn what a shame…💐🎶💐
I think I first heard this song in 2007 when I was 4. I think it might have been the first song I was able to actually recognize. Needless to say, it's my favorite Petty song.
I miss you Tom Petty 🤗.
360 thumbs down??? What is wrong with people. This is gold💙🎩💫
TOM PETTY EVEN IF YOU FELL OFF YOUR RECOVERY ALL OF US WOULD HAVE STILL LOVED YOU AND WEBALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
What can I say ... I have loved your music my entire life. Well, since '76 anyway. I'll miss the idea that your down in California somewhere ...
Such a great song, one of my absolute favourites by Tom Petty. Saving Grace just goes to show that he's still got it just as much as he always has!
This song has it's different meanings for everyone. But this for me is my emotional state. So it has special meaning to me. Mr. Petty left a legacy here. He also left us two moths before my mother did so I hope they are flying....
My son and I had our mom son dance 💃🏾 with Tom Petty at his wedding-rock on Tom - lo & I were at the last ct concert, dude you were the soundtrack of my life-30’s 40’s and forever. great love 💕and respect ✊🏼 forever 💙
That's a John Lee Hooker guitar riff if I ever heard one. Nice!
Killer.......Killer......Killer Song!
Lol
A perfect album. Under- rated
Beautiful song, I never hard until just now when I found this video. RIP Tom Petty.
Here we are 2021...
Tom is gone...
I still listen daily...
As a matter of fact...
I will always and forever love Tom Petty
Thank you very much for another great song💞, Tom and the Heartbreakers, they're all musical geniuses 🤗🌷🐱
It’s May 24, 2024 and I’m right here!
counting on you.
Tom Petty was in a class by himself. With the Heartbreakers he achieved the status of Americas best rock ‘n’ roll band and had an unmatched songbook. He never was idolized by the media like Springsteen, and I think that was because he was so humble he never sought out the limelight except when he was doing what he loved - performing.
R.i.P my friend , finally you got your wings 😞😞
How can anybody give this great song a "thumbs down"? That's crazy.
This is the music that plays when you look up the word “BADASS” in the interactive dictionary. 😎 and especially “Bumble Bee” 🐝 and Mike’s guitar lick that’s so dirty it must be kept at least 500 yards from elementary schools.
this song gives me a sense of euphoria...no wonder we love these artists, so much, without even knowing them. excuse me, TOM....how about another!!!
RIP HOF ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Petty may be gone but Tom Petty is immortal.
This song and flirting with time are honestly two of his best and most underrated songs. That entire highway companion album just kicked ass!!!!!
The. World. Today. Is. Not. Saving. Grace!!!
In my opinion Tom petty is the best song writer of all time
No one can touch this song miss u Tom P and the heart breakers
A top end Rocking Machine and writer! You will be missed. Tell Jimi and Stevie I said hello.
Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers is a legendary rock band that I had never seen over the years.
A true American Icon who wrote many of the soundtracks to our lives. So sad he is gone
This like medicine to my ears & mind. Just a masterpiece. It's my.."The Times They Are A Changing.
I bought my current car based on how this song sounded on it's sound system !!!
You my friend are a "Hard Core" fan. Love it!
Damn Tom too soon way too soon. Your music will live on
!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! LOVE YOU TOM PETTY!!! Did everyone see that awesome fullmoon tonight on New Years Eve?
Tom Petty is going to be very missed my sister got to see him for first time in concert just back in august shes lucky she did because he was taken from the world not long after.
tom petty is a poet!!!
Thank you Tom Petty, we survived hurricane Florence with sound😎 #NC
Passed alot of sleeping cities in my life. Never thought I would be here now thinking of them. RIP Tom Petty
