American Girl Lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

1 Well, she was an American girl,

2 Raised on promises

3 She couldn't help thinking there was a little more to life

4 Somewhere else

5 After all it was a great big world

6 With lots of places to run to

7 And if she's gonna die

8 Tryin', she

9 Had one little promise she was gonna keep

10 Chorus:

11 Oh yeah, alright,

12 Take it easy, baby

13 Make it last all night (make it last all night)

14 She was an American girl.

15 Well, it was kind of cold that night,

16 She stood alone on the balcony

17 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,

18 Out on four forty one like

19 Waves crashing on the beach,

20 For one desperate moment there

21 He crept back in her memory

22 God, it's so painful when something that's so close

23 Can feel so far out of reach
