American Girl

[Verse 1]
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that there
Was a little more to life somewhere else
Well, after all it was this 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

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl

[Verse 2]
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear thе cars roll by
Out on four forty one like waves crashing on thе 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

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl
Oh, yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl
