[Verse 1]
Let us be lovers
We'll marry our fortune together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And a [?] cliff eyes
[Chorus]
Set out, before dawn
Watch out
To look for America
[Verse 2]
"Kathy," I said as we boarded the greyhound in whisper
"Washington seems like a dream to me now"
[Chorus]
For twenty-four days
Hitchhike from [?]
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
[Verse 3]
Laughing, all of us
Play games with the faces
She said, "The man, in the [?] suit was a spy"
I said, "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera!"
And we have lost our sin
Although I knew she was sleeping, yeah
You see, I'm empty and aching
And I don't know why-hy
[Chorus]
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!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
And we have lost our sin
Although I knew she was sleeping, yeah
You see, I'm empty and aching
And I don't know why-hy
[Chorus]
Counting the cars on the new Jersey turnpike
We'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!
