America lyrics

[Cover of Paul Simon`s America]
`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
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 while 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 sleeping
I`m empty and I`m aching and I don`t know why
Counting 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
