0:37Well she was an American girl

0:42Raised on promises

0:46She couldn't help thinkin'

0:48That there was a little more to life somewhere else

0:54After all it was a great big world

0:58With lots of places to run to

1:02And if she had to die tryin'

1:06She had one little promise she was gonna keep

1:12Oh yeah all right

1:15Take it easy baby

1:18Make it last all night

1:20She was an American girl

1:28Well it was kinda cold that night

1:31She stood alone on her balcony

1:36Yeah she could hear the cars roll by

1:39Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

1:44And for one desperate moment

1:47There he crept back in her memory

1:53God it's so painful when something that's so close

1:57Is still so far out of reach

2:02Oh yeah all right

2:06Take it easy baby

2:08Make it last all night

2:10She was an American girl

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
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah all right
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 the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
Oh yeah all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
