[Verse 1]
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help but thinkin' that there was a little more to life
Somewhere else

After all, it's a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die tryin'
There was
One little promise she would keep

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Last all night)
She was an American girl

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony (Ooh)
She watched the cars roll by
Down on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment, there
He crept back into her memory
God, it's so painful when something so close
Is so far out of reach
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Last all night)
She was an American girl

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Yeah, yeah (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Down on 441 (Ooh-ooh) like waves comin' of the beach
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
