Lucy Wainwright Roche - America lyrics

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 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 hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone 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
And 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
