American girl

Verse 1
One late night, almost gone,
One more try, I’m holding on.
Empty tank, I’m crawling slow,
Headlights flash, here we go.

Past-due bills on the seat,
The earth is slipping from my feet.
Every mile I drive, I cut loose —
Four bare walls closing in, no excuse.

Mini-hook:
American girl, take me to you tonight,
American girl, take me to you tonight.

Verse 2
You’re the beat inside my chest,
When my faith is running out of breath.
Spark of fire, lights the wire,
You don’t just glow — you lift me higher.

Mini-hook:
Hold me close, girl, hold me close.
Hold me close, girl, hold me close.

Pre-Chorus
No more playing invincible,
No more walls invisible.
If you’re close, I don’t fall,
I can conquer it all.

Chorus (Hook)
American girl,
Give me your love tonight.
American girl,
Be my neon light.
With your love in my hands
I can rise, I can stand.
American girl,
Your love is all I need.

Final Hook Repeat:
American girl, take me to you tonight,
American girl, keep me in your light.
With your love in my hands
I can rise, I can stand.
American girl,
Your love is all I need.
