Everclear - American Girl lyrics

She was an american girl<br>Raised on promises<br>She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life<br>Somewhere else<br>After all it was a great big world<br>With lots of places to run to<br>And if she had to die tryin'<br>She had one little promise she was gonna keep<br><br>Oh yeah, all right<br>Take it easy baby<br>Make it last all night<br>She was an american girl<br><br>It was kind of cold that night<br>She stood alone on the balcony<br>She could hear the cars roll by<br>Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach<br>And for one desperate moment there<br>She crept back in her memory<br>God, it's so painful when something that's so close<br>Is still so far out of reach<br><br>Chorus
