# This is the version as in _Concert in Central Park_
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 cigaretts, and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for Amer - ic - a
Kathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburg
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
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, and she read her magazine
An 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 to look for America
