Live drum cover of American Girl by Tom Petty, recorded by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for their self-titled debut album in 1976.

This is just our "The Regs" version of it, having fun every night!.

It was released as a single and did not chart in the United States, but peaked at No. 40 in the UK for the week ending August 27, 1977.

It was re-released in 1994 as the second single from Petty's Greatest Hits album and peaked at No. 68 in the U.S. Cash Box Top 100.

Despite limited chart success, American Girl became one of Petty's most popular songs and a staple of classic rock.

It has been consistently rated as his best song and one of the best rock songs of all time, and has been called "more than a classic rock standard — it's practically part of the American literary canon.

It has also been used in several movies and television shows, often during a scene in which a character, much like the protagonist in the song's lyrics, is "longing for something bigger than their current existence."
