American Girl Lyrics

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
Yeah, an d 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 the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in
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
