American Girl

Well, she was an American girl

Raised on promises

She could not help thinking that there

Was a little more to life

Somewhere else

After all it was a great big world

With lots of places to run to

Yeah, and if she had to die trying

There was one little promise

That she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl

Yeah, it was kind of cold that night

As she stood alone on the balcony

And she could hear the cars roll by

On the highway

Like waves crashing on the beach

And for one precious moment there

He crept back into her memory

God, it's so painful

Something that's so close

But still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl
