She was an
American girl
Raised on promises
And she could not 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
Yeah, and if she had to die trying
there was one little promise
that she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright,
take it easy baby,
make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
Yeah, it was kinda cold that night
As she stood alone on the balcony
And she could hear the cars roll by
On the highway
like waves crashing on the beach
And for one precious moment there
He crept back into her memory
God, it's so painful
Something that's so close,
but still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby,
make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last, make it last all night
She was an American girl
