American Girl Lyrics
Well, she was an American girl,
Raised on promises
She could not 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
There was one little promise that she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night,
And she stood alone on the balcony
And she could hear the cars roll by on the highway
Like waves crashing on the beach,
And for one precious moment there
He crept back into her memory
God, it's so painful
Something that's so close
But still so far out of reach.
Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
Raised on promises
She could not 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
There was one little promise that she was gonna keep
Take it easy, baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
And she stood alone on the balcony
And she could hear the cars roll by on the highway
Like waves crashing on the beach,
And for one precious moment there
He crept back into her memory
God, it's so painful
Something that's so close
But still so far out of reach.
Take it easy, baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
