American Girl

Well she was an American girl, raised on promises

She couldn't help but 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

Yeah, and if she had to die trying, she

That one little promise she was going to keep

Oh yeah, alright

Take it easy, baby

Make it last all night (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 hear the cars roll by, out on four-forty one

Like waves crashing on the beach

After 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 (Make it last all night)

She was an American girl

Hoo

Uh-huh huh

She was an American girl

She was an American girl
