Lyrics

[00:02.00]
[00:33.10] Well she was an American girl
[00:36.95] Raised on promises
[00:42.29] She couldnt help thinkin that there
[00:45.78] Was a little more to life
[00:47.89] Somewhere else
[00:51.63] After all it was a great big world
[00:55.64] With lots of places to run to
[01:00.31] Yeah, and if she had to die
[01:02.73] Tryin she had one little promise
[01:07.56] She was gonna keep
[01:09.80]
[01:11.09] Oh yeah, all right
[01:15.45] Take it easy baby
[01:17.76] Make it last all night
[01:20.11] She was an American girl
[01:25.86]
[01:29.66] It was kind of cold that night
[01:32.75] She stood alone on her balcony
[01:38.46] She could the cars roll by
[01:41.95] Out on 441
[01:44.13] Like waves crashin in the beach
[01:47.83] And for one desperate moment there
[01:51.95] He crept back in her memory
[01:56.50] God its so painful
[01:58.86] Something thats so close
[02:01.51] And still so far out of reach
[02:07.28]
[02:07.56] Oh yeah, all right
[02:11.83] Take it easy baby
[02:14.01] Make it last all night
[02:16.60] She was an American girl
[02:21.82]
[03:23.44] Oh yeah, all right
[03:27.43] Take it easy baby
[03:29.64] Make it last all night
[03:32.39] Oh yeah, all right
[03:36.88] Take it easy baby
[03:39.03] Oh, take it easy now
[03:41.87]
[03:42.27] Oh yeah, all right
[03:46.55] She was an American girl
[03:52.99]
