American Girl

When 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 packed up, trying She got 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 kinda cold that night She stood alone on her balcony Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by on the road 41 Like the waves crashing on the beach Checked for one desperate moment there He crimped back in her memory God, it's so painful something that's so close But still so far out of reach Oh yeah, alright Take it easy baby, make it last all night She was an American Girl
