Song of the Day - 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 lot's of places to run too
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.

It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out to reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American Girl.
