It was kind of cold that night

She stood alone on her balcony

She could the cars roll by

Out on 441

Like waves crashin in the beach

And for one desperate moment there

Something thats so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy baby
Make it last all night

She was an American girl
