American Girl Lyrics - The Voice

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 

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 

Well it was kinda cold that night 

She stood alone on her balcony 

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by 

Out on 441, like waves crashin' on 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 of reach 

Oh yeah, all right 

Take it easy baby 

Make it last all night 

She was an American girl
