Chasing Liberty movie - American Girl lyrics

rate me

Song by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers<br /><br>

Well, she was an American girl<br>

Raised on promises<br>

She couldn't help thinkin'<br>

That there was a little more to life 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>

O yeah, all right<br>

Take it easy, baby<br>

Make it last all night<br>

She was an American girl<br>

<br>

Well it was kind of cold that night,<br>

She stood alone on her balcony<br>

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,<br>

Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach<br>

And for one desperate moment<br>

There he 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>

O yeah, all right<br>

Take it easy, baby<br>

Make it last all night<br>

She was an American girl<br>

<br>
