Well she was An a mer
I can girl Raised on pro mis es
She could n't help
Think in' that there
Was a litt le more life Some where else
Af ter all it was
A great big world
With lots of plac es
To run to Yeah and if she had
To die try in' she had One litt le pro mise
She was gonn a keep
Oh yeah al right
Take it eas y bab y
Make it last all night
She was an A mer I can girl
Well it was kind a Cold that night
She stud ied it all
O ver the bal co ny
Yeah she could hear
The cars roll by out
On four for ty- one
Like waves crash in' On the beach
And for one Des per ate Mom ent there
He crept back In her mem ory
God it's so pain ful
Some thin' that's
So close but still
So far out of reach
Oh yeah al right
Take it eas y bab y
Make it last all night
She was an A mer i can girl
