Lyrics
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
Yeah, and if she had to die trying
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (make it last all night)
She was an American girl
Well, it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony (ooh)
Yeah, 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, something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (make it last all night)
She was an American girl
