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
