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
