Phone rings baby cries
T V diet guru lies
Good mornin' honey
Go to work make up
Try to keep
The balance up
Between love
And money
She used to
Tie her hair up
In ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with
XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture
Of her mama
In heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it
In her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl
Slow dance
Second chance
Mama needs romance
And a live-in maid
Fix the sink
Mow the yard
Really isn't all
That hard
If you get paid
She used to
Tie her hair up
In ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with
XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture
Of her mama
In heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it
In her daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl
Well she's got
Her God
And she's got
Good wine
Aretha Franklin
And Patsy Cline
She used to
Tie her hair up
In ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with
XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture
Of her mama
In heels and pearls
She's gonna make it
In her daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl
She's an American girl
She used to
Tie her hair up
In ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with
XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture
Of her mama
In heels and pearls
She's gonna make it
In her daddy's world
She's an American girl
Yeah
Once she tied
Her hair up
In ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with
XXX's and OOO's
