Mm mm mm  mm mm mm mm mm mm


                                          
let us be lovers well 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

                          
Ive gone 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 bowtie 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, Im lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping

                           
Im empty and aching and I dont know why


Counting 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
