lyrics

She was an American girl
raised on promises

She couldn't help thinkin' 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



Oh yeah, all right

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

Out on 441, like waves crashin' 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



Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, Baby,
make it last all night

She was an American girl

Oh, yeah….oh, yeah
Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, Baby,
make it last all night

She was an American girl
