intro

"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 walked off to look for Am - er - i - ca ------------------------

"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 Am -er - i - ca

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 ov - er an op - en field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all come to look for Am - er - i - ca

All come to look for Am - er - i - ca All come to look for Am - er - i - ca
