Makin’ Some Noise Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, I was working for the state
I wasn't making much money, I was staying out late
I'd go down at nighttime, played music in the bars
Take my breaks out underneath the stars

[Chorus 1]
I was making some noise
I was a working boy
Up at the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama
I'm making some noise"

[Verse 2]
I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree
To see what would fall down on me
I thought, "Maybe I can make it, if I never give in
I been down before, I ain't going down again"

[Chorus 2]
I'm making some noise
I've been a worried boy
Up at the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama, I'm making some noise"

[Verse 3]
From across the canyon, a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on a long delay
It was an old melody, I recognized the song
I had an amplifier too, so I played along
