"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 pie
   And 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
   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 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 look for America
