American Girl Lyrics by Tom Petty

American Girl Lyrics

    Well she was an american girl
    Raised on promises
    She couldn't help thinkin 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, an d 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 her balcony
    She could the cars roll by
    Out on 441
    Like waves crashin' in 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
