Phone rings baby cries TV diet guru lies
Good morning honey
Go to work make up try to keep the balance up

Between love and money
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl

An American girl

Slow dance second chance mama needs romance

And an live-in maid
Fix the sink mow the yard really isn't all that hard
If you get paid

he used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls

She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl


Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline


She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl

An American girl
