American Girl

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, all right

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an american girl



It was kind of cold that night

She stood alone on the balcony

She could hear the cars roll by

Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach

And for one desperate moment there

She crept back in her memory

God, it's so painful when something that's so close

Is still so far out of reach
