Dierks Bentley - American Girl Lyrics

Dierks Bentley Lyrics

"American Girl"
(originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' 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 had to die tryin' she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
As she stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
Yeah, she was an American girl
An American girl
