Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes t oget her
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 Ame r i c a
Kahty I said as we borded a G reyhound in Pittsb urgh
Michigan seems like d ream to me now
It took me four days to hitch hike from Saginaw
I've come to look for A merica
Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be carreful his bow tie is really a cam'ra
Toss me a cigarette I think there 's one in my rain coat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery she read her mag azine
And the moon rose over an o pen field
Kathy I'm lost I said though I k now she was sl eepi ng
I'm em pty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've a ll c ome to look for A merica
All come to look for A merica
