"Refugee" is a song recorded by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, was released in January 1980 as the second single from their album Damn the Torpedoes, and peaking at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The song is in compound AABA form.
Composition and recording
The song's co-writer Mike Campbell said "Refugee" was one of the first songs he wrote, and recounted, 'I just wrote the music and handed it to Tom [Petty] and he put the words over it, and when he did he found a way to make the chorus lift up without changing chords.'
In a November 2003 interview with Songfacts, Campbell described the recording sessions for "Refugee":
That was a hard record to make. It was a 4-track that I made at my house. He (Tom Petty) wrote over the music as it was, no changes, but it took us forever to actually cut the track. We just had a hard time getting the feel right. We must have recorded that 100 times. I remember being so frustrated with it one day that - I think this is the only time I ever did this - I just left the studio and went out of town for two days. I just couldn't take the pressure anymore, but then I came back and when we regrouped we were actually able to get it down on tape.
Billboard described "Refugee" as being "Petty at his best," specifically praising the "gutsy rock vocal and searing guitar lines." Cash Box said it has "growing interplay between guitar and organ, coupled with Petty’s forceful vocals." Record World called it a "perfect union of power and passion."
Reception
"Refugee" is widely regarded as one of Petty's best songs. In 2017, Billboard ranked the song number 10 on their list of the 20 greatest Tom Petty songs, and in 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the song number two on their list of the 50 greatest Tom Petty songs.
Lyrics
We got something, we both know it
We don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow, we get around it
Listen, it don't really matter to me, baby
You believe what you want to believe
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Somewhere, somehow
Somebody must have kicked you around, some
Tell me, why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Now baby, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No!
Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers' been burned
Right now, this seems real to you
But it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true
Somewhere, somehow
Somebody must have kicked you around, some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up, taken away and held for ransom
Alright! It don't really matter to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Now you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
