American Girl Lyrics - Everclear

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 

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 the balcony 

She could hear the cars roll by 

Out on four forty one like waves 

Crashing on the beach 

And for one desperate moment there 

She crept back in her memory 

God, it's so painful when something 

That's so close, is still so far out of reach 

Oh yeah, all right 

Take it easy baby 

Make it last all night 

She was an American girl
