Verse:
Well it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeh, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on four-fortyone like waves crashing on the beach
And for one des'rate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far to reach.

Chorus:
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby make it last all night
She was an American girl
