It's a great song by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

I've never heard that song but checked the lyric. The story is about an American girl who had a broken heart.


American Girl

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 kinda 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

It's an amazing song, with beautiful lyrics.
(I'm a big Petty fan, in case you couldn't guess)

The Goo Goo Dolls do a great cover of American Girl. It's a fabulous song, love it!
As Jon is a huge fan of TP and the HB's I am suprised he hasn't covered one of their songs long before now. But it's a start! Very cool!

The band covered "I Won't Back Down" A LOT on the HAND tour.
The Goo Goo Dolls did do a good version.
