Lyrics
Take it easy, she was an american girl, take it easy
She stood alone on her balcony, if she had to die trying, with lots of places to run to
if she had to die trying
like waves crashing on the beach
With lots of places to run to, it s so painful when something, take it easy
It s so painful when something, she was an american girl And, she was an american girl
she was an american girl
that s so close is still so far out of reach
It s so painful when something, she was an american girl
she was an american girl
A little more to life somewhere else, raised on promises Tom, she was an american girl
She stood alone on her balcony, take it easy
If she had to die trying, take it easy
She stood alone on her balcony, she stood alone on her balcony
She was an american girl, after all it was a great big world
It was kind of cold that night, it was kind of cold that night
And for one desperate moment there, she couldn t help thinking that there was
She couldn t help thinking that there was, if she had to die trying
She stood alone on her balcony, he crept back in her memory
She was an american girl, she d have one little promise she was going to keep
She was an american girl, it was kind of cold that night
He crept back in her memory, he crept back in her memory, she stood alone on her balcony
He crept back in her memory, she was an american girl American, she could hear the cars roll by
take it easy
It s so painful when something, like waves crashing on the beach
After all it was a great big world, she was an american girl Heartbreakers, take it easy
With lots of places to run to, take it easy, if she had to die trying
She stood alone on her balcony, it was kind of cold that night Petty, he crept back in her memory
With lots of places to run to, it s so painful when something Petty, she was an american girl
Make it last all night, that s so close is still so far out of reach, like waves crashing on the beach
Make it last all night, it was kind of cold that night, make it last all night
Take it easy, a little more to life somewhere else
With lots of places to run to, it was kind of cold that night, she could hear the cars roll by
If she had to die trying, make it last all night And, make it last all night
Take it easy, take it easy, she d have one little promise she was going to keep
After all it was a great big world, she couldn t help thinking that there was
With lots of places to run to, she couldn t help thinking that there was, with lots of places to run to
she was an american girl
She d have one little promise she was going to keep, he crept back in her memory Petty, she could hear the cars roll by
