I've traveled 'round the world in airplanes and in cars I've tried exotic foods and smoked some fine cigars I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I'm a Chevy girl I've strolled down Paris streets, been lost in London fog But all I really need are the fields of Arkansas I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I need an old Corvette with the top down And a backseat for my friends I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade I need freedom to be all around the world I'm a Southern girl I want an old porch swing under Montana skies To hold a working man, looking good in his old Levi's I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I need an old Corvette with the top down And a backseat for my friends I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade I need freedom to be all around the world I'm daddy's girl I've traveled 'round this world and I'm ready to go home
