American Girl Lyrics by Elle King

Country Patriotic Songs

2015

When she was an American Girl, raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking 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 packed up, trying
She got one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby, make it last all night (make it last all night)
She was an American Girl!
Well, it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by on the road 41
Like the waves crashing on the beach
Checked for one desperate moment there
He crimped back in her memory
God, it's so painful something that's so close
But still so far out of reach!
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby, make it last all night (make it last all night)
She was an American Girl!
