Well, she was an American girl

Raised on promises

She couldn′t help thinking that thereWas 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
