Into the Great Wide Open
From 1991, the Tom Petty song I always wanted to cover
I don't wanna end up
In a room all alone
Don't want to end up someone
That I don't even know
I think it's the most personal thing he ever wrote. And those lines have been haunting me since I heard the news of his passing yesterday.
That song is on repeat on my computer.

I can hear why you'd want to do a cover version.

Couldn't agree more . I was in a band in the early 90's that covered this tune. Always loved it.
