TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS - AMERICAN GIRL
|
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
|
Chorus:
|
Oh yeah, 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 the balcony
|
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
|
Out on four forty one like
|
Waves crashing on the beach,
|
And for one des'rate 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
|
Chorus
