Goo Goo Dolls American Girl Lyrics

American Girl Lyrics

Well, she was an American girl,

 Raised on promises

 She couldn't help thinking 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's gonna die

 Tryin', she

 Had one little promise she was gonna keep

 

 Chorus:

 Oh yeah, alright,

 Take it easy, baby

 Make it last all night (make it last all night)

 She was an American girl.

 

 Well, it was kind of cold that night,

 She stood alone on the balcony

 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,

 Out on four forty one like

 Waves crashing on the beach,

 For one desperate moment there

 He crept back in her memory

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

 Can feel so far out of reach
