Tom Petty, American girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNgt7U9QrFQ
Well, she was an ______________ girl,
Raised on promises
She couldn’t help thinking that

Somewhere else
After all it was a great _______ world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die
Tryin’, she
Had one ___________ promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright,
Take it ____________, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl.
Well, it was kind of __________ that night,
She stood __________ on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on four forty one 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 __________ out of reach
