Let us be love
rs, we'll marr
y our fortunes
together
I've got some
real-estate he
re in my bag
So we bought a
pack of cigar
ettes, and Mrs
. Wagner pies
And walked off
to look for A
merica
Cathy I said a
s we boarded t
he Greyhound i
n Pittsburg
Michigan seems
like a dream
to me now
It took me fou
r days to hitc
h-hike from Sa
ginaw
And I've come
to look for Am
erica
Laughing on th
e bus, playing
games with th
e faces
She said the m
an in the gaba
rdine suit was
a spy
I said be care
ful his bowtie
is really a c
amera
Toss me a ciga
rette I think
there's one in
my raincoat
We smoked the
last one an ho
ur ago
So I looked at
the scenery,
she read her m
agazine
And the moon r
ose over an op
en field
Cathy I'm lost
, I said, thou
gh I knew she
was sleeping
I'm empty and
aching and I d
on't know why
Counting the c
ars on the New
Jersey Turnpi
ke
They've all co
me to look for
America
They've all co
me to look for
America
They've all co
me to look for
America
