American Girl
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

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

Chorus:
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 441
Like waves crashing on the beach,
And for one desperate 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

Chorus
