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
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh, yeah (oh, yeah) alright (alright)
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She can hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like waves crashin' in the night

And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when
Something that's so close's so hard to find

Oh, yeah (oh, yeah) alright (alright)
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Oh, yeah (oh, yeah) alright (alright)
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Oh, yeah (oh, yeah) alright (alright)
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Oh, yeah (oh, yeah) alright (alright)
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Woow
