America |
| "Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together" |
| "I've got some real estate here in my bag" |
| So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies |
| And we walked off to look for America |
| "Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh |
| "Michigan seems like a dream to me now" |
| It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw |
| I've gone to look for America |
| Laughing on the bus, Playing games with the faces |
| She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy |
| I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera" |
| "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat" |
| "We smoked the last one an hour ago" |
| So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine |
| And the moon rose over an open field |
| "Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping |
| I'm empty and aching and I don't know why |
| Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike |
| They've all gone to look for America |
| All gone to look for America, All gone to look for America |
