America

 

America Lyrics

"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 come 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 come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
