When Tom Petty sings Bo Diddley’s song Mona, he changes one of the lines.
Tom: Then I’ll come out on the run
Bo: Can I see you in the front?
And… I’m wondering what Tom’s line means.
To what does, “come out on the run” refer? Ideas?
Traditional lyrics here.
Not bothering to check the links, but the safe assumption is that Bo’s lyrics are always the dirtiest and the most violent.
Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
Just 22 and I don’t mind dyin’.
Who do you love?
The correct answer is, “You, baby,” as you call your brother for help.
Yeah, man… as Quicksilver said - “This here next one’s Rock and Roll”.
