American Girl (Live)

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, alright, take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, 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
Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, alright, take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

An American girl
An American girl

Okay, this song is about how guys like to watch girls fight (woo!)
Uh, and how we think it's really funny, lame
But they like to watch girls fight
Uh, it wasn't really supposed to cause an applause
Yeah, I know, or maybe they're just applauding to the song, right? (Woo!)
Okay, 'cause we think it sucks, but you know
Not the song-, wait a minute, not the song
