It?s a marriage made in heaven so her mom is fond of saying
So her sister caught the bouquet and your dad gave her away
And she didn?t wear her blue jeans for the first time in ages
And she looked just like a vision so she heard them all say
But she settles into marriage believing it forever
But somehow things looked different once the feeling?s gone
In time love turns to anger and then he turned to silence
So she turns to some old boyfriend when he?s not at home
But Old Glory is still waving down at Central High School
Where love still means I love you till the end of the world
And God is still in heaven but she hopes that He?s not watching
As time is slowing changing that All American Girl
It?s a marriage of convenience but she keeps it from her mother
Cause by the time she?s reached twenty she?s learned to tell a lie
From the brandy in the cupboard from rendezvous with lovers
She?s learned to make excuses and she?s learned to compromise
But Old Glory is still waving down at Central High School
Where love still means I love you till the end of the world
And God is still in heaven but she hopes that He?s not watching
As time is slowing changing that All American Girl
