Lyrics
Well she was an american girl
She was a girl from America.
Raised on promises
Her upbringing involved being surrounded by assurances or commitments.
She couldn't help thinkin that there
She couldn't shake the feeling that there might be more meaning or purpose in life.
Was a little more to life
She believed there was something greater in life.
Somewhere else
She felt that this 'something greater' existed elsewhere.
After all it was a great big world
The world was vast and full of possibilities.
With lots of places to run to
There were numerous destinations where she could escape to.
Yeah, and if she had to die
Even if she had to face death while striving for it,
Tryin' she had one little promise
She held onto a single commitment or vow.
She was gonna keep
She was determined to uphold this promise.
oh yeah, all right
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
Take it easy baby
Encouraging relaxation or calmness, indicating enjoyment.
Make it last all night
Wishing for the moment to extend throughout the night.
She was an american girl
Reiterating that she was a girl from America.
it was kind of cold that night
The weather that night was chilly.
She stood alone on her balcony
She was standing by herself on her balcony.
She could the cars roll by
She observed the passing of cars.
Out on 441
Specifically on Route 441.
Like waves crashin' in the beach
Comparing the sound to waves crashing on a beach.
And for one desperate moment there
During a brief, desperate moment,
He crept back in her memory
She recollected a memory involving someone significant.
God it's so painful
Expressing the intensity of emotional pain.
Something that's so close
Reflecting on something very near yet seemingly unattainable.
And still so far out of reach
Describing the struggle of reaching for something just out of grasp.
oh yeah, all right
Reiterating affirmation or agreement.
Take it easy baby
Encouraging relaxation or calmness, indicating enjoyment.
Make it last all night
Wishing for the moment to extend throughout the night.
She was an american girl
Reiterating that she was a girl from America.
