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
Yes and if she had to die trying she'd
that's one real promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, allright
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
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment baby
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something is so close
But still so hard to reach
Oh yeah, allright
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
She was, an American girl
