"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 we 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 |
