54.XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)

Lyricist:Matraca Berg, Alice Randall

Phone rings, baby cries TV died, guru lies
Good morning 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
Signed her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's trying to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl, an American girl

Slow dance, second chance mama 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
Signed her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's trying to make 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 mama in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her daddy's world
An American girl, an American girl
She's an American girl

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 mama in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl, yeah

When she tied her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
X's and O's, X's and O's
