American girl poem/lyric
J F died and Nixon lied
Martin Luther dreamed a dream
Brother called to Vietnam
the year she turned eighteen

While the whole world went spinning round
and the girl with long beautiful hair
dreamed the night away somewhere in America

Seventies came she was there
flowers wilted in her hair
Where had all the soldiers gone
couldn't find them anywhere

While the whole world went spinning round
and the girl with long beautiful hair
danced the night away somewhere in America

Rocking chair can drift away
never scared you anyway
Ever want her back again
gotta change your independence day

And there's girl with long beautiful hair
alone tonight, somewhere in America

Listen to the song on Youtube if you would like.
