Random but Tom Petty

Ok this is very random but when I was on the Frances in 2016 there was a little wooden shelter (I want to say past Burgos and maybe past Leon that, on the slats, had some Tom Petty lyrics written on it. It was written very big across the slats so even like 20 ft away you could read the lyrics. At the time, it was very poignant and, since then, I’ve often seen this little shelter with lyrics in my dreams but I can’t make out the lyrics. Anyway it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the shelter in my dreams but today I saw the new Meg Ryan movie “What Happens Later” and there was a reference about Tom Petty. Yes, I could go back to TP’s catalog of songs and try to figure it out but I’m pretty sure I won’t. So now I’m asking you all, my Camino friends, does anyone have a picture of the lyrics on this shelter???

By the way, the movie is good and there is a bit between the characters on “trip versus journey” which I think a lot of us can relate to.

So if anyone has a picture of this shelter or even just remembers which lyrics were written, please share with me. I know i sound like a wierdo but for some reason this has haunted me. Buen Camino.

Can you remember any of the words of the Lyrics? If none of the forum members recognise them, just put the words you remember into Google search.
It’s not so much the lyrics I’m concerned about but I kind of just want a picture of that little shelter because I keep seeing it in my dreams. I don’t have any clue what the lyrics could possibly be. They meant something at the moment but probably don’t now.

Between Burgos and Leon is the flat meseta (as you know 😉) and once past Leon it gets hillier, the landscape a bit more "scrubby". Can you remember the landscape at all from 2016?

I looked through all 3 of my camino albums but lo, no shelter to speak of....

I think it was after Leon. I don’t remember it being in the Meseta but I could be wrong.

I found this on Google. It’s not what you want but It Tom Petty lyrics on the Camino. Maybe it’s the same person writing them?

I remember seeing that Tom Petty quote written in big letters in a shelter also in 2016 and I believe it was climbing the trail up the hill to the Cruz de Ferro. I can't recall the quote right now but I knew/know the song being a Tom Petty fan.
 
Just before Foncebadon in May '15
This must be it. But I don’t know what those lyrics meant to me at the moment but like I said in one of my replies it was more about the structure. Thank you for curing my curiousity!!

I recall this Tom Petty quote from 2014.
I think it was between Rabanal and El Acebo.

I think this is the one I was thinking of and I believe someone has already posted a picture. It’s not the same in my dreams lol! But I guess we all romanticize the Camino in someways- mine is apparently while I’m unconscious

Thank you for searching! I don’t remember seeing this sign but it’s very interesting because it’s does reflect my Camino experience having lost my dad the year before.

Sorta looks like the same handwriting (wall writing?)

It was after Rabanal, before Foncebadon
