Well she was an American girl raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking 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 trying she had one little promise she was gonna
keep
Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well it was kind cold that night she stood alone on the balcony
Yea she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 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 that's so close
Is hard to find
Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night
She was an American girl
