So that was kind of a good thing to have in your back pocket, knowing where you were going. I wasn’t sure what would be the beginning, but I knew that was going to be the end, and that I was gonna work toward that. “Wake Up Time,” home recording, from Wildflowers & All The Restĭid you know at the time it would be a good closer for the album? I wrote it around the time I wrote “It’s Good To Be King.” I’m going to keep doing this, because I want something else like this. And that’s enough inspiration to keep going. You know, you write so many of them, and you hope for something like “Wake Up Time.” And now and then you get it. But it seemed to work better than singing it.

TOM PETTY: I wrote on guitar and we cut it that way.
Tom played the piano himself on the track for the same reason as Lennon.
