Good mornin' honey
 Go to work  make up  try to keep the balance up
 Between love and money
 She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
 Sign her letters with X's and O's
 Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
 She's trying to make in her Daddy's world
 An American girl
 An American girl

 Slow dance  second chance  Momma needs romance
 And a live in maid
 Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard
 If you get paid

 She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
 Sign her letters with X's and O's
 Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
 She's trying to make in her Daddy's world
 An American girl
 An American girl

 Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
 Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline

 She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
 Sign her letters with X's and O's
 Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
 She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world
 An American girl
