Lyric discussion by jconnors1983 

This song is a gift to everyone out there who stresses out over the small things in life.The song uses many simple messages to coherently demonstrate their understanding of people dynamics as they come to the end of the line, a powerful metaphor. With Orbison having passed, the main video emphasizes their association of the end of the line with death.

The versus are song by Harrison, Lynne, and Orbison and have alternating simple rules for living a happy life among your friends and family as things can get hectic. The chorus is a bit deeper, with Tom Petty's unique style really slowing down the music. He emphasizing many of the negative things, and poses questions to our thinking in the form of alternatives like " You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring ", when either way it can be " All Right ". As long as you follow all of the other suggestions, the band is saying it truly will be all right as you go after the things you desire.

@jconnors1983 few mistakes here, verses and "sung" are poor typos, but hope you enjoyed my interpretation of the song meaning.
