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

And if she packed up, trying

She got 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

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by on the road 41

Like the waves crashing on the beach

Checked for one desperate moment there

He crimped back in 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 all night

She was an American Girl!
