"American Baby Intro" is the fourth track on the Dave Matthews Band album Stand Up. It is an instrumental track with only the words "She said / a hundred times / She said / a thousand times" being sung. The song starts out with an emotional four-note piano melody, played by Butch Taylor, which then shifts into a sorrowful sounding violin piece halfway through. In live performances, the song is significantly longer. Also, only the four-note intro is played live. The song is known for showcasing Boyd Tinsley on the violin. The song is not an introduction in the normal sense; though it precedes American Baby on the album, when played live, it is its own song. The studio version of the song is listed at 2:03, while live versions of the song have gone as long as 12:18, on September 12th, 2005.
