Intro:
Verse 1:
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 tryin' she had
one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus:
Oh yeah, allright, take it easy baby
make it last all night
She was an American girl
Verse 2:
Well it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeh, she could hear the cars roll by,
out on four-fortyone like waves crashing on the beach
And for one des'rate moment there
he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something
that's so close is still so far to reach.
Chorus
