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 pies


And we walked off to look for America




"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


I've come to look for America




Laughing on the bus


Playin' 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 cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat

We smoked the last one an 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 sleepin'


I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why

Countin' the cars on the New Jersey turnpike


They've all come to look for America




All come to look for America


All come to look for America
