Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Phone rings, baby cries, TV diet guru lies

Good morning honey

Go to work, make-up, try to keep the balance up

Between love and money

Chorus

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 tryin' to make it in her daddy's world

She's an American girl

An American girl

Slow dance, second chance, mama needs romance

And an live-in maid

Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard

If you get paid

Chorus

Well she's got her God and she's got good wine

Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
