"
why she cries sometimes
Talking about her own place
Somewhere around the mountains
Noone could dry her fountain
Till she got tired to complain
That's when I fly to the wildland, to your land

The narrator observes and wonders why "she cries sometimes" as he himself gets frustrated in thought by the whole notion of superficiality that this aestheticization of the American girls denote. When the narrator says that she is " talking about her own place somewhere around the mountains" he refers to the thought created by the American girl herself, which subconciously longs for a sense of control. Yet herself doesn't really knows what limits her. And no one really has been/could help or be able to understand her. Until someone does or until she realizes of her conscription is that the narrator will approach her.

To all of you, American girls in the movies
Noone can tell where your heart is
American girls like dollies
With shiniest smiles and plastic bodies

Going along with what Dove explained in his interpretation. This section emphasizes that perspective of the portrayal of American women and their aesthetical idealization. One which conscribes them to do what is dictated to them. However, they have no self-reflection or critical thinking of what they convey and are left to be nothing more than the
'dollies' with " shiny smiles and plastic bodies".
