American Beauty

.

She was a good companion, eyes like the Grand Canyon

She was an American beauty

She was a long goodbye, she was the best alibi

She was an American beauty

With her Wayfarers on in the summer sun

Her touch felt like a loaded gun

Wish I had held her longer

Wish I had held her long

.

A gorgeous vagabond, she was sweet but she was strong

She was an American beauty

She was déjà vu, she was a catch-22

She was an American beauty

Her blue eyes shine in the summer sun

Her kiss felt like a loaded gun

Wish I had held her longer

Wish I had held her long

.

Goodbye came like the morning sun

She fired shots from a loaded gun

Wish I had held her longer

Wish I had held her long

.

She was a good companion

Eyes like the Grand Canyon

She was an American beauty
