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 And if she had to die Tryin', she Had one little promise she was gonna keep Chorus: 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 four forty one 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 out of reach Chorus |

You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine Keep thinkin' that her mind is gonna change But I know everything is okay She's gonna listen to her heart It's gonna tell her what to do She might need a lot of lovin' But she don't need you You want me to think that I'm being used You want her to think it's over Can't you see it don't matter what you do Buddy you don't even know her She's gonna listen to her heart It's gonna tell her what to do She might need a lot of lovin' But she don't need you And you just can't creep up behind her And you can't understand that she's my girl She's my girl She's gonna listen to her heart It's gonna tell her what to do She might need a lot of lovin' But she don't need you |

CHORUS: Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that Girl I love you baby, Don't do me like that Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that Someday I'll need ya baby, Don't do me like that Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me You're in the public eye, give someone else a try And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself Someone's gonna tell you lies, Cut you down to size... CHORUS 'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin' Love doesn't last that long... I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it I know I can't take it no more.... Repeat 2nd Verse CHORUS |

Well, it was nearly summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon And I showed you stars you never could see Babe, it couln't have been that easy to forget about me Baby, time meant nothing anything seemed real Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel Like every word you said was meant to be It couldn't have been that easy to forget about me Chorus: Baby, even the losers Get lucky sometimes Even the losers Keep a little bit of pride They get lucky sometimes Two cars parked on the overpass Rocks hit the water like broken glass I should 'a known right then it was too good to last God, it's such a drag when you live in the past Chorus |

You know sometimes, I don't know why,
But this old town seems so hopeless. Yeah, I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times Were just a little bit more in focus. But when she puts her arms around me I can somehow rise above it. Yeah, man when I got that little girl standin' right by my side, You know, I can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey! Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl. Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight. Every now and then I down to the end of the day And I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it. It just seems so useless to have to work so hard And nothin' ever really seems to come from it. But then she looks me in the eye and says, "We're gonna last forever." And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it. No, . cause it just feels so good and so free and so right. I know we ain't never goin' to change our minds about it - hey! Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl. Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight. (Watch her walk.) Every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more, I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something. Yeah, I just catch myself waiting, wondering, worrying About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'. But then she looks me in the eye and says, "We're gonna last forever." And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it. No, . cause it just feels so good and so free and so right. I know we ain't never gonna' to change our minds about it - hey! Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl. Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight |

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone And the sun went down as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still I`m learning to fly, but I ain`t got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well the good ol` days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I`m learning to fly, but I ain`t got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I`ve started out, for God knows where I guess I`ll know when I get there I`m learning to fly, around the clouds, But what goes up must come down I`m learning to fly, but I ain`t got wings Coming down is the hardest thing |

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open They moved into a place they both could afford He found a nightclub he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The sky was the limit Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the chart The sky was the limit His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single" The future was wide open Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue |

She grew up in an Indiana town,
Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around. But she grew up tall and she grew up right With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights. Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen. She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen. I was introduced and we both started groovin'. I said, "I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin' on. Keep movin' on." Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again. Well, I don't know, but I've been told, You never slow down, you never grow old. I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down, Tired of myself, tired of this town. Oh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes. Honey, put on that party dress. Buy me a drink, sing me a song. Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long. Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again. There's pigeons down on Market Square. She's standin' in her underwear, Lookin' down from a hotel room. Nightfall will be comin' soon. Oh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes. You got to put on that party dress. It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone. I hit my last number and walked to the road. Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again |
