American Girl Songtext / Lyric

Yeah, she was an American girl

Raised on promises

She could not 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

There was one little promise that she was gonna keep



Oh yeah

All right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl






Yeah, it was kinda cold that night

As she stood alone on the balcony

And she could hear the cars roll by

On the highway, like waves crashing on the beach

And for one precious moment there

He crept back in her memory

God, it's so painful

Something that's so close

But still so far out of reach



Oh yeah

All right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl



Oh yeah

All right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl



Oh yeah

All right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last, make it last all night

She was an American girl
