The Best of Everything

<p>"Lyrically this one is basically a story song. Another brilliant Tom Petty opener; “She probably works in a restaurant. That's what her momma did.” So it’s that faraway dreamy recollection that we’re dropped into where the picture is just very slightly out of focus and we can’t quite make out what’s happening. No matter, whatever the deal is for this girl, the chorus shows that the narrator really hopes that it all works out. “Wherever you are tonight. I wish you the best of everything in the world. And I hope you found whatever you were looking for.” Such a beautiful, generous sentiment and not one that’s undercut with any darkness or conditions, just a very real sense of wishing someone well.
