America

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.

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."
R: 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 cam'ra."

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.

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
all come to look for America all come to look for America ...
