American Girl

Fontelle after her volleyball match tonight, but in keeping with the T. Petty theme for the week, "American Girl":

"Well, she was an American girl,
raised on promises.
She couldn't help thinking there
was a little more life, somewhere else.

After all it was a great big world
with lots of places to run to,
and if she had to die trying
she had one little promise
she was gonna keep.

Oh yeah, all right, 
take it easy baby, 
make it last all night.
She was an American girl.

Well, it was kind of cold that night,
she stood alone on her balcony.
She could hear the cars go by 
out on 441, like waves crashing 
on the beach.

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

Whoa yeah, all right,
take it easy, baby,
make it last all night.
She was
an American girl."
