American Girl

She was an American girl
Raised up on promises
She couldn’t help thinking 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 trying
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 kinda cold that night
When she stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on the 441 like waves crashing 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
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

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