American Girl (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Adam Cunningham

Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises 

She couldn't help thinking 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, yeah, and if she had to die... 

Tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep 

Oh yeah, alright, 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 the balcony 

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by out on 441, like waves crashing 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
