American Girl - Roger McGuinn

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

And if she had to die

Tryin' she had one little 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 kind of cold that night

She stood alone on the balcony

Yeah she could hear the cars roll by

Out on four forty one like

Waves crashing on the beach

And for one des'rate moment there

He 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 alright

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl

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

And if she had to die

Tryin' she had one little promise

She was gonna keep

Oh yeah alright

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl

Oh yeah alright

Take it easy baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl
