Let us be lovers
Well marry our fortunes together
Ive got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And mrs. wagners pies
And walked on, walked on, walked on
To look for america
kathy, I said as we boarded a greyhound to pittsburg,
michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
All gone to look for america
All 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 carefull his bow tie is really a camera.
Kathy Im lost I said
Although I knew she was sleeping
Im empty and Im aching
And I dont know why
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
Theyve all come to look for america
All come to look for america
All come to look for america
