What did he say?

Is the question I found myself asking about a song on the radio this weekend.  The song was a song I have heard many, many times over the years. The song is also one, in which, I don't understand most of the words the lead singer (Tom Petty) is singing.  I have always sang, "You don't have to run from me" every.single.time because that was what I thought it sounded like.  Apparently, this weekend my ears were working and I heard, "You don't have to live like a refugee" and I said to Scott "What did he just say?"

He did not seemed surprised by the lyrics and he did not seem surprised by my complete misinterpretation of these lyrics all of these years either. :)

Here is a video of the song with the lyrics...just in case maybe I am not the only confused person ;)
