America Lyrics

  Send "America" Ringtone to your Cell  

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 in Pittsburgh

Michigan seems like a dream to me nowIt took me four daysTo hitchhike from SaginawI'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.

Toss me a cigaretteI think there's one in my raincoat.

We smoked the last oneAn 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 andI don't know why.

Counting the cars

On the New Jersey Turnpike

They've all come

To look for America

AII come to look for America

AII come to look for America
