You never crossed my mind
As I crossed all of those borderlines
It's an awful thing to say
I'm sorry but I was slipping away
I slipped away
Mary Lou's a drifter
Oh she bummed a roll up and a ride
And her southern drawl split those warm nights
Well it's nice to meet you
And you're very English well ain't that swell
Oh come on kid let's give 'em hell
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
They make it easy
Jazz 45's and young dusty lust in a three o'clock wind
I lost quick lovers to sloe gin
Well I was happy chasing your skirt heartbeat racing
Then I skipped across the world
You never crossed my mind
As I crossed all of those borderlines
It's an awful thing to say
I'm sorry but I was slipping away
I slipped away
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
Those American girls
They make it easy
