America

Paul simon (full version on yesterdays, the new age of atlantic, or kta) (edited single version is available on the yesyears album) 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 walked on, walked on, walked on To look for america 'kathy,' I said as we boarded a greyhound to pittsburg, 'michigan seems like a dream to me now' It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw All gone to look for america All 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 carefull his bow tie is really a camera.' Kathy I'm lost I said Although I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and I'm 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
