Well 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
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 stood alone
on her balcony
Yeah she could hear
the cars roll by
out on 441
like waves crashin'
on a beach
And for one desperate
moment there
he crept back in
her memory
God it's so painful
something that
is 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
