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 had to die trying |
|
She had one little promise she was gonna keep |
|
O yeah, all right |
|
Take it easy, baby |
|
Make it last all night |
|
She was an American girl |
|
Well it was kind of cold that night, |
|
She stood alone on her balcony |
|
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by, |
|
Out on 441 like waves crashing on the beach |
|
And for one desperate moment |
|
There he crept back in her memory |
|
God it's so painful when something that's so close |
|
Is still so far out of reach |
|
O yeah, all right |
|
Take it easy, baby |
|
Make it last all night |
|
She was an American girl |
