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 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
