Great Song to Feature on The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*: "Out in the Cold" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Billboard thought this song was only popular on "Mainstream Rock" stations, so they didn't even rank it in the Top 40 overall.  They kinda' blew it there...
"Out in the Cold"
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Written by Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne

The day fell down, the air got cold
I walked out in the street
Daydreamed for a mile or two
Staring at my feet like a working boy
Out of luck, falling through the cracks
night rolled in, I turned back home
A hard wind at my back

[Chorus:]
I'm out in the cold, body and soul
There's nowhere to go
I'm out in the cold

When I woke up my brain was stunned
I could not come around
I reached out to grab my keys
And tumbled to the ground
I thought of you starry-eyed, I wonder where we stand?
Did I just fall from your arms
Down into your hands?

[Chorus]

I'm standing in a door-way
I'm out walking 'round, hands in my pockets

[Chorus]
