Goo Goo Dolls - American Girl (Tom Petty Cover) - Joliet, IL - July 9, 2009

Goo Goo Dolls live in concert with opener Stellar Road at Champions Park at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois on July 9, 2009 with American Girl, a Tom Petty Cover

Lyrics:
Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldnt 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
Yeah, an d 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

It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God its so painful
Something thats so close
And 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 not nearly as good as the way Tom sings it, but it's better than Taylor Swift's version, and its fun to listen to at any concert.

the audience needs to be quiet so i can hear the guy with the good looking hair better.

bad recording of a great song, think they did alright just can't tell from this video.
