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's pies--

And walked off to look for America

Kathy, I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburg

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 gaberdine 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, 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 America----,

All come to look for America----

All come to look for America----

All come to look for America----
