Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate in my bag
So he bought a pack of cigarettes
And Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off, walked off
Walked off to look for America
[Verse 2]
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
[Verse 3]
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 bowtie is really a camera"
[Verse 4]
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said
Although I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Countin' the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
