John Mayer's cover of "Free Fallin'," as covered on his Where The Light Is CD/DVD, just missed the Hot 100's top 50 in its first week as an iTunes download. Between this and that cheesy Bucket List song, it's clear Mayer isn't going to stick solely to Da Blooze any time soon, for better or worse. So why did John decide to cover this Tom Petty nugget? I'm guessing it has something to do with getting to sing "I'm a bad boy, cuz I don't even miss her" on stage. [YouTube]

Isn't the line "I want to write her name in the sky"? It's an L.A. song, how can it be about snow (unless he's writing her name in a big pile of coke)?
@Mike P.: I wouldn't put it past Petty to have done that.
@Mike P.: I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to improve it.
But then he has to "leave this earth for a whoa."
JM knows the deal, pull the heart strings to make the dough, pull the guitar strings for the respect of the guitar gods.
