Frank Turner - American Girl lyrics
[Frank Turner - American Girl lyrics]
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
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right 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 her balcony
She could hear all the cars rolling by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' over 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
Oh yeah, all right take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
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
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right 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 her balcony
She could hear all the cars rolling by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' over 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
Oh yeah, all right take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
