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 Tryin', she Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright, Take it easy, baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night She stood alone on the balcony Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by Out on four forty one 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 still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright, Take it easy, baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
