American Girl lyrics

Well she was an American girl

Raised on promises

She couldn't help thinkin' 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

Tryin' she had one little promise

She was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl

It was kind of cold that night

She stood alone on her balcony

She could hear the cars roll by

Out on 441

Like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment there

He crept back in her memory

God it's so painful

Something that's so close

And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl
