America Lyrics By Yes

    let us be lovers we’ll marry our fortunes together
    i’ve got some real estate in my bag
    so we bought a pack of cigarettes and mrs wagner’s pies
    and we walked off walked off walked offto look for america

    kathy i said as we boarded the greyhound in pittsburgh
    michigan seems like a dream to me now
    took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
    they’ve all gone to look for america
    all gone to look for america

    laughing on the bus playing games with faces
    she said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
    i said be careful his bow tie is really a camera

    kathy i’m lost i said although i knew she was sleeping
    i’m empty and aching and i don’t know why i’m
    counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
    and they’ve all gone to look for america
    all gone to look for america
    all gone to look for america
