"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 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 I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America
he waits for her to understand but she won't understand at all she waits all night for him to call but he won't call anymore he waits to hear her say forgive but she just drops her pearl-black eyes and prays to hear him say i love you but he tells no more lies
he waits for her to sympathize but she won't sympathize at all she waits all night to feel his kiss but always wakes alone he waits to hear her say forget but she just hangs her head in pain and prays to hear him say no more i'll never leave again
how did we get this far apart? we used to be so close together how did we get this far apart? i thought this love would last forever
