American Girl
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
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
Yeah, she was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night as she stood alone on her balcony (ooh)
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 when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach
Oh, yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl
Oh, yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl
An American girl
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
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
Yeah, she was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night as she stood alone on her balcony (ooh)
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 when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach
Oh, yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl
Oh, yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl
An American girl
