American Girl
(Tom Petty, Reproduced by Joe Colledge 2007)
Well she was an American Girl
Raised on promises
She couldn’t help but thinking that there
Was a little more to life somewhere else
After all, it was a great big world
With lot’s of places to run and hide
Yeah, and if she had top die trying she
Had one more promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright, 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 the waves crashin’ on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it’s so painful that something that’s so close
But still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American Girl
