America

[Verse 1] "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's pies And walked off to look for America [Verse 2] "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 come to look for America [Bridge] 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" [Verse 3] "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 [Verse 4] "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 come to look for America [Outro] All come to look for America All come to look for America All come to look for America All come to look for America All come to look for America
