American Girl

Well, she was an American girl
Raised 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
Yeah, 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
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by down on 441
Like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back into her memory
God, it's so painful when something so close
Still seems so far away

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