All American Girl Lyrics by 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 pass 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 killer 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
