Take it easy, baby
And for one desperate moment
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
O yeah, all right
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Make it last all night
She stood alone on her balcony
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
She was an American girl
Take it easy, baby
After all it was a great big world
O yeah, all right
Is still so far out of reach
With lots of places to run to
She couldn't help thinkin'
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
Make it last all night
And if she had to die tryin'
Well, it was kind of cold that night
There he crept back in her memory
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
