WELL SHE WAS
AN AMERICAN GIRL
RAISED ON PROMISES
SHE COULDN'T HELP
THINKIN' THAT THERE
WAS A LITTLE MORE 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 TRYIN' SHE HAD
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 STUDIED IT ALL
OVER THE BALCONY
YEAH SHE COULD HEAR
THE CARS ROLL BY OUT
ON FOUR FORTY-ONE
LIKE WAVES CRASHIN'
ON THE BEACH
AND FOR ONE
DESPERATE
MOMENT THERE
HE CREPT BACK
IN HER MEMORY
GOD IT'S SO PAINFUL
SOMETHIN' 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
AH AH AH WOH
