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 walked off to look for America
'Kathy' I said As we boarded a Greyhound to Pittsburgh Michigan seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw I've come 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 bow tie is really a camera'
'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 come to look for America All come to look for America
