Lyrics

[00:01.78] "Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
[00:24.18] "I've got some real estate here in my bag"
[00:29.87] So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
[00:39.23] And we walked off to look for America
[00:47.07] "Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
[00:58.68] "Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
[01:05.59] It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
[01:10.15] I've gone to look for America
[01:17.33] Laughing on the bus
[01:20.65] Playing games with the faces
[01:22.67] She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
[01:29.67] I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"
[01:40.35] "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
[01:47.00] "We smoked the last one an hour ago"
[01:57.82] So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
[02:06.36] And the moon rose over an open field
[02:16.43] "Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
[02:21.16] I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
[02:31.72] Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
[02:36.70] They've all gone to look for America
[02:43.01] All gone to look for America
[02:49.10] All gone to look for America
