TOM PETTY lyrics : "American Girl"

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'

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, all right
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
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close

Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
