[00:00.00]América - Graham Blvd.
[00:16.36]Let us be lovers,
[00:18.18]We'll marry our fortunes together.
[00:24.46]I've got some real estate
[00:26.33]Here in my bag.
[00:31.18]So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
[00:34.30]And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
[00:38.42]And walked off
[00:40.67]To look for America.
[00:50.07]"Kathy", I said,
[00:51.30]As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
[00:58.19]Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
[01:04.27]It took me four days
[01:05.81]To hitch-hike from Saginaw.
[01:08.15]"I've come to look for America."
[01:16.19]Laughing on the bus,
[01:18.68]Playing games with the faces,
[01:23.11]She said the man in the gabardine suit
[01:26.53]Was a spy.
[01:30.93]I said,"Be careful,
[01:32.56]His bow tie is really a camera."
[01:43.05]"Toss me a cigarette,
[01:44.99]I think there's one in my raincoat."
[01:51.05]We smoked the last one
[01:52.70]An hour ago.
[01:57.66]So I looked at the scenery,
[02:00.85]She read her magazine;
[02:04.71]And the moon rose over an open field.
[02:16.37]"Kathy, I'm lost", I said,
[02:18.80]Though I know she was sleeping.
[02:24.04]"I'm empty and aching and
[02:26.03]I don't know why."
[02:30.27]Counting the cars
[02:31.62]On the New Jersey Turnpike
[02:33.73]The've all come
[02:35.97]To look for America,
[02:41.26]All come to look for America,
[02:48.29]All come to look for America.
