American Girl lyrics

When she was an American Girl, raised on promises

She couldn't 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,

And if she packed up, trying,

She got one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, alright

Take it easy baby, make it last all night

She was an American Girl!

Well, it was kinda cold that night,

She stood alone on her balcony

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by on the road 41

Like the waves crashing on the beach

Checked for one desperate moment there,

He crimped back in her memory

God, it's so painful something that's so close,

But still so far out of reach!

Oh yeah, alright

Take it easy baby, make it last all night

She was an American Girl!
