The One You're Searching For

She heads down to the railroad
To find her a new home
California's not for everyone
Yeah, I heard that she was leaving
With no rhyme or reason
Left a note said she was on the road
Something's in my chest, yeah I've got to confess
She's leaving but she don't know

American girl with the string of pearls
Seaching for something more
I could be your world you could be my girl
Oh, I'm the one, I'm the one you're searching for

I woke up in the morning
Looked outside it's storming
But no clouds could make my smile fade
I bought a one way ticket
Straight down to Phoenix
She always said she liked the desert air
This is is all I got, my one and only shot
To tell her what she don't know

American girl with the string of pearls
Seaching for something more
I could be your world you could be my girl
Oh, I'm the one, I'm the one you're searching for

We could have it so good, I just know it
So here I go, you gotta know it
I got off the jet plane with my guitar case
With a smile I just had to say

American girl with the string of pearls
Seaching for something more
I could be your world you could be my girl
Oh, I'm the one, I'm the one you're searching for
