Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking
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's gonna die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
(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
