Lyrics

[00:35.08] Well she was an American girl
[00:39.03] Raised on promises
[00:43.07] She couldn't help thinking that
[00:46.08] There was a little more to life
[00:49.03] Somewhere else
[00:52.02] After all it was a great big world
[00:56.01] With lots of places to run to
[01:00.03] And if she had to die trying to
[01:04.06] One little promise she was gonna keep
[01:07.07] CHORUS
[01:09.05] Oh ya, alright
[01:13.05] Take it easy baby
[01:15.07] Make it last all night
[01:17.06] She was an American girl
[01:26.03] Well it was kind of cold that night
[01:29.03] She stood alone on a balcony
[01:34.02] She could hear the cars roll by
[01:37.07] Out on 4/41, like waves crashing on the beach
[01:42.08] And for one desperate moment there
[01:46.01] He crept back in a memory
[01:50.04] God, it's so painful
[01:52.03] Something that's so close
[01:55.00] Is still so far out of reach
[01:59.07] CHORUS
[02:14.06] (Music solo)
[02:49.05] CHORUS
