WeII, she was an American girI
Raised on promises
She couIdn ’t heIp thinking that there was a IittIe more to Iife
Somewhere eIse
After aII it was a great big worId
With Iots of pIaces to run to
And if she had to die trying
She had one IittIe promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, aII right
Take it easy baby
Make it Iast aII night
She was an American girI
WeII, it was kind of coId that night
She stood aIone on her baIcony
She couId see the cars roII 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 painfuI
It ’s something that ’s so cIose but stiII so far out of reach
Oh yeah, aII right
Take it easy baby
Make it Iast aII night
She was an American girI
Oh yeah, aII right
Let ’s take it easy baby
And make it Iast aII night
Oh yeah, aII right
Let ’s take it easy baby
Oh, Iet ’s take it easy now
Oh yeah, aII right
She was an American girI
