Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers performing both "American Girl/Listen To Her Heart" on the Midnight Special in 1978.
Rest in peace Thomas Earl Perry
1. "American Girl" written by Thomas Earl Perry
Lyrics
"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"
2. "Listen To Her Heart" written by Thomas Earl Perry
Lyrics
"You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
Keep thinkin' that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay
[Chorus:]
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
Well, she might need a lot of lovin'
But she don't need you
You want me to think that I'm being used
You want her to think it's over
Can't you see it don't matter what you do
Buddy you don't even know her
[Chorus]
And you just can't creep up behind her
And you can't understand that she's my girl
She's my girl
[Chorus]"
