Tom Petty vs. Taylor Swift



American Girl
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
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
And 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

Well it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone
On her balcony
Yeah she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves
Crashin' 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 far out of reach

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was
An American girl

All right

Take it easy baby
Oh take it easy
Now now
Oh yeah
All right
She was
An American Girl

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lavender!!! Yeah, I also have to give it to Tom, but she did do a good job with the song. Speaking of feeling icky, perhaps even to the point of nausea, you should hear her versions of some Def Leppard songs.
