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
O 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
O yeah, all right Take it easy, baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
“Second Chance”
My eyes are open wide And by the way, I made it Through the day I watched the world outside By the way, I’m leaving out Today
I just saw Hayley’s comet She waved Said, “Why you always running in place?” Even the man in the Moon disappeared Somewhere in the Stratosphere
[Chorus] Tell my mother, Tell my father I’ve done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I’m not angry, I’m just saying… Sometimes goodbye Is a second chance
Please don’t cry One tear for me I’m not afraid of What I have to say This is my one and Only voice So listen close, it’s Only for today
I just saw Hayley’s comet She waved Said, “Why you always running in place?” Even the man in the Moon disappeared Somewhere in the Stratosphere
[Chorus] Tell my mother, Tell my father I’ve done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I’m not angry, I’m just saying… Sometimes goodbye Is a second chance
Here’s my chance This is my chance
Tell my mother, Tell my father I’ve done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I’m not angry, I’m just saying… Sometimes goodbye Is a second chance
