America lyrics
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's pies
And we walked off to look for America
"Kathy", I've said
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days
To hitch-hike from Saginaw"
And I've come to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man with a gabardine suit
Was a spy
And I've 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 look at the scenery
She reads her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost", I've said
Though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching
And I don't know why"
Counting the cars on a New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
