[Intro]
Ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh
Ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh
[Verse]
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 pies
And walked off to look for America
[Verse]
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
And I ve come to look for America
[Bridge]
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
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
Cathy 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
[Outro]
Do do do do-oo do do-do-do
Do do do do-oo do do-do-do
