Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - American Girl Lyrics

Scrubs brought me here

Sounds so fresh. Could pass as a 2000/10s indie rock song. Superb

essa musica toca no filme o SILENCIO DOS INOCENTES

May be a old song but 😮love it it's my ring tone

Hi Dr.Lecter!

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' 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, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

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
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's 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

Thank you Billie Lourd

Raised on promises that were never kept...if he wasn’t already dead, I’d kill him...

American girl Brasil!!!!!!!

Fast Times At Ridgemont High brought me here 🙋

"Last nite ... she said .. olha um plagiozinho maroto " hahahahahah

Possibly the greatest pop song ever!

Last nite, she said

everyone who get here cause of The Sopranos have a good taste

Haz que dure toda la noche.......

Happy 4th of July

Alguém conheceu está música no filme o silêncio dos inocentes???

When 441 turns orange blossom trail make sure your 45 is loaded.

Listen to what this sounds like on an original first pressing vinyl on my channel!

Let the ride begin.

My most recent being a ermd at a level one trauma center facility in central fla.
But then I heard McDonald's is paying 12 bucks an hour.

At least we all have fucking jobs.

This song has like a sad feeling, at least for me. The guitars and Tom's voice makes me feel nostalgic about a time where I was with a lovely girl and now she's gone but I know that it was true love and that she was the most loyal and pretty girl around. I haven't experienced something like that but this song gives this bittersweet sensation, as if I'm reminiscing a fantastic time with an amazing girl. Also the scene of Carmela talking to Tony in The Sopranos made this song even better. One of the best acting moment I've seen.

Growin'up with my little sister in Miami in the early 80s brought me hear..(144st biscayne blvd)

Peace be with you

If she had to die trying, she had one little promise she was gonna keep.
70s American youth culture in a nutshell.

AN "IGNORANT" ABSENCE OF "EXACT DATE RECORDED",
RENDERS YOUR OFFERING OF THIS SONG,
"USELESS"😠‼️

Wasn't this in Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

Yeah...

not a loser

well done sir

When I was 19, I was living with roommates in San Francisco. A young man named Noah came by and would play some songs on guitar. It was fun when he played this song. I liked this song a lot by the end of high school. It's not really a good song for young people, but it's always fun.

It has nothing to do with maniacs, calm down, m...f...

I like this song alot

Was she a great big fat person?

the soprano brought me here

RIP. T. P.

my mom loves this song and its just really nastolgic (sorry i can't spell)

My mate bill loved this song

Ca fait du bien !!!!!! Seule en 2019 à aimer la bonne vieille musique ??  Make it last all night....

One of the top ten rock songs of all time! RIP Tom

Saw him & the Heartbreakers at the Spectrum in Philly on the Wildflowers tour in '93. Easily one of the top three concerts I'd ever been to. An amazing artist and showman. RIP.

So, tell me, have the lambs stopped screaming?

By far the best song from this album.

Classic and petty such a lose to music.

Tom Petty being cool as fuck and super talented brought me here,she was my Hibernian girl

Man, I miss Tom Petty.. True Gainesville bred genius. 7th grade everyone called me Tom. Heh. Until 11th grade hit then it was Rod Stewart. Now im 50 and its ... yeah...🤔🤔🤔

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' 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, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
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
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's 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

Buffalo bill

Had the honor and privilege to stay in Tom Petty in concert 1989. This song has always been and will always be my favorite of all Tom Petty's music

Had the honor and privilege of seeing Tom Petty in concert with Lenny Kravitz in 89. This song right here has always been and will always be my favorite Tom Petty song

Reminds me of the movie 🎥 Fast Times at Ridgemont High 💯 Both Great Classics

RIP Tom--you were absolutely awesome. I miss your music already.

Que música!!!

"I would fuck me! I would fuck me hard!!!"

A masterpiece. Captures an "American" sound more than any other. Utter genius.

Good ol' fashion music that actually make sense R.I.P. Tom Petty

The Strokes really took the intro from this

I wonder how many people listening to this imagine a black American girl?
Listening to this I always imagine a white girl like Maureen McCormick ( or Marcia from the Brady Bunch) as she looked in 74 aged 18.
is it racism because I put a white girl to this song because America is a mixed race country..

im not american. but loves this song...

It goes nuts. It does this, whenever it listens to this song. Or else it gets the hose again!

Temazo!

The Best song

Timeless - Beautiful - ;O)

Still rocking in 2018!!!!!!!!!!

The Handmaid's Tale!
