America

Uhmmm uhmmm uhmmm hmmm hmmhmmhmmhmm
Uhmmm uhmmm uhmmm hmmm hmmhmmhmmhmm

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
Hooooo-oo-oo-oo
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 hitch-hike from Saginaw
And I've gone to look for America"

Laughing on our bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in my 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 the raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
Hooooo-oo-oo-oo
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
All come to look for America

Uhmmm uhmmm uhmmm hmmmMmmMmm Woo-oo
