Lyrics:

Words And Music By Tom Petty

We grew up fast and no one seemed to notice.
We grew up fast and we grew up alone.
Mom and Dad were never what we wanted.
We grew up fast and we grew up alone.
We grew up alone.

Well, you know who I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.
Well, you know what I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.
You never act like that with no one else.

We grew up mad, when lies were just a fact of life.
We grew up mad 'cause we've never had a home.
We faced the past and forgave the revolution.
We grew up smashed and we grew up alone.
We grew up alone.

Hey my brother, I got no fight with you, I just can't ride down.
Hey my brother, I got no fight with you, I just can't ride down.
No I just can't ride down.
I just can't ride down.

Well, you know who I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.
Well, you know what I am, so don't act like I'm somethin' else.
Well, you know who I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.
You know where I am, so don't act like I'm somewhere else.

You never talk like that to no one else.
You never scream like that for no one else.
You never suck like that for no one else.
