You never crossed my mind
As i crossed all of those borderlines
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.
Mary-Lou's a drifter
Oh she bummed a roll-up and a ride
And her southern drawl split those warm nights
"Well its nice to meet you
And youre very English well aint that swell.
Oh come on kid lets give em' hell."
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls (They make it easy)
Jazz fourty-fives and
Young dusty lust in 3 'o' clock wind
I lost quick lovers to sloe gin
I was happy chasing,
Your skirt, Heartbeats racing
Then i skipped across the world
You never crossed my mind
As i crossed all of those borderlines
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls (They make it easy)
