Melissa Etheridge - All American Girl lyrics

She wakes up in the morning With a pain in her jet black head A decaf coffee in her hand And a Marlboro red She drives down to the office In her Japanese car With the radio blasting She dreams of taking it too far But today she'll pay the bills She won't think about the thrills That pa** away She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl Her eyes are black as leather And her hair is k**er red How could she keep the baby When she can barely keep her head She don't owe nobody nothing And she ain't on the street But these drinks are getting heavy And these lips are getting weak She don't understand Why she can't climb out of the sand And break away She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl Her lover never came home And it's half past three Today her best friend told her He's HIV Something's gotta give somewhere Forcing circles into squares She keeps pushing on She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl
