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's pies And walked off To look for America Kathy, I said As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh Michigan seems like a dream to me nowIt took me four daysTo hitchhike from SaginawI'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 bow tie is really a camera. Toss me a cigaretteI think there's one in my raincoat. We smoked the last oneAn 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 andI don't know why. Counting the cars On the New Jersey Turnpike They've all come To look for America AII come to look for America AII come to look for America
