All American Girl Lyrics
Melissa Etheridge
She wakes up in the morning
With a pain in her jet black head
A decaf coffee in her hand
And a marlboro red
She drives down to the office
In her japanese car
With the radio blasting
She dreams of taking it too far
But today shell pay the bills
She wont think about the thrills
That pass away
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
Her eyes are black as leather
And her hair is killer red
How could she keep the baby
When she can barely keep her head
She dont owe nobody nothing
And she aint on the street
But these drinks are getting heavy
And these lips are getting weak
She dont understand
Why she cant climb out of the sand
And break away
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
Her lover never came home
And its half past three
Today her best friend told her
Hes hiv
Somethings gotta give somewhere
Forcing circles into squares
She keeps pushing on
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
