american girl (live at the fillmore, 1997) - tom petty and the heartbreakers lyrics
[verse 1]
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, 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
[verse 2]
well, it was kind of cold that night
she stood alone on her balcony (woo*oo)
yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
out on 441 like waves crashin’ on the beach
and for one desperate moment there
he crept back in her memory
god it’s so painful when somethin’ so close
is still so far out of reach
[chorus]
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
