Tom Petty — Harry Green

[Verse 1] Harry Green was my old friend We met in Spanish class Helped me out of a spot I was in He stopped a redneck from kicking my ass Stopped a redneck from kicking my ass Harry Green was strong and tall Played on a football team Them good old boys said "you better watch out He's not what he would seem He's not what he would seem" [Chorus] Harry Green was alright by me Harry Green was alright with me [Verse 2] Well, them high school halls can sure get rough When you ain't like everyone else Harry Green had to hold so much Deep inside himself Deep inside himself Harry Green was middle class Sixteen, he got a new car I rеmember him in a talent show Banging on his old guitar Banging on his old guitar [Chorus] Harry Green was alright with mе Harry Green was alright by me [Verse 3] It was second-hand news in the middle of the day Sounded like a rumor or a lie A Pontiac wrapped around an old oak tree Vehicular suicide Harry Green had died Sometimes I wish I was still a boy With life ahead of me One day, I'll go back and say a few words Over Harry Green Over Harry Green [Chorus] Yeah, Harry Green was alright by me Harry Green was alright by me
