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  Yeah, 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 kind of cold that night  She stood alone on her balcony  Yeah, she could 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 its so painful  Something that's so close  And still so far out of reach    Oh yeah  All right  Take it easy baby  Make it last all night  She was an American girl    these lyrics are submitted by Rick Winters
