All American Girl

It’s a marriage made in heaven so her mom is fond of saying So her sister caught the bouquet and your dad gave her away And she didn’t wear her blue jeans for the first time in ages And she looked just like a vision so she heard them all say But she settles into marriage believing it forever But somehow things looked different once the feeling’s gone In time love turns to anger and then he turned to silence So she turns to some old boyfriend when he’s not at home But Old Glory is still waving down at Central High School Where love still means I love you till the end of the world And God is still in heaven but she hopes that He’s not watching As time is slowing changing that All American Girl It’s a marriage of convenience but she keeps it from her mother Cause by the time she’s reached twenty she’s learned to tell a lie From the brandy in the cupboard from rendezvous with lovers She’s learned to make excuses and she’s learned to compromise But Old Glory is still waving down at Central High School Where love still means I love you till the end of the world And God is still in heaven but she hopes that He’s not watching As time is slowing changing that All American Girl
