American Girl Lyrics by Everclear

The Vegas Years

1994

Yeah, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She started 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
Yeah, if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Yeah, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashing on the beach
Yeah, for one desperate moment there
She 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, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all goddamn night
She was an American girl
Yeah, American girl
Yeah, American girl
American girl
American girl
American girl
