Tom Petty's, "Ankle Deep"
The Lyrics:
The field hand hit the switch and stumbled
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled
She didn't speak for a week, just kind of mumbled
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled
She didn't speak for a week, just kind of mumbled
Why:
The engine roared and rumbled
She just mumbled
She just mumbled
