Default Another Tom Petty Impression.

seems jon's writing is really impressed by Tom Petty's songs, there have been discussions here about that before, like Thief of hearts that's similar to "Learning to fly" and "I won't back down". and also Love ain't nithing but a four letter word with "Refugee".

Now i found another one, its about Two Story Town, i always thought that the concept was an original one, but today i heard the Tom petty song called "A One Story Town".

just compare the choruses yourself:

Bon jovi's "Tow story town":

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I'm gonna take my car and drive out of this two-story town
The same old ship is goin' round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
In a two-story town


Tom Petty's "A one story town" (from 1982 album "Long after dark")

Oh, I'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same sh!t goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

The concept is the same, even some parts are the same.
