Well  she  was  an  American  girl
Raised  on  promises
And  she  couldn't  help  thinking  that
There  was  a  little  more  to  life
Somewhere  else
cause  After  all  it  was  a  great  big  world
With  lots  of  places  to  run  to
And  if  she  had  to  die
Trying  she  had  one  little  promise
She  was  gonna  keep
oh  yeah  all  right
take  it  easy  baby
And  make  it  last  all  night
Cause  she  was  an  American  girl
Well  it  was  kind  of  cold  that  night
she  stood  alone  on  her  balcony
yeah  she  could  hear  the  cars  roll  by
on  the 441
Like  waves  crashing  on  the  beach
and  for  one  desperate  moment  there
He  crept  back  in  her  memory
God  it's  so  painful
When  something  so  close
And  still  so  far  out  of  reach
oh  yeah  all  right
take  it  easy  baby,make  it  last  all  night
She  was  an  American  girl
Come  on
Cause  she  was  an  American  girl
oh  yeah
American  girl
She  was~~~~~~~~yeah  American  girl
Take  it  easy  baby
Take  it  easy  baby
Oh ~~~American  girl
