Almost Famous movie - America lyrics

rate me

Song by Simon & Garfunkel<br /><br>

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together" <br>

"I've got some real estate here in my bag" <br>

So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies <br>

And we walked off to look for America <br>

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh <br>

"Michigan seems like a dream to me now" <br>

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw <br>

I've gone to look for America <br>

<br>

Laughing on the bus <br>

Playing games with the faces <br>

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy <br>

I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera" <br>

<br>

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat" <br>

"We smoked the last one an hour ago" <br>

So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine <br>

And the moon rose over an open field <br>

<br>

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping <br>

I'm empty and aching and I don't know why <br>

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike <br>

They've all gone to look for America <br>

All gone to look for America <br>

All gone to look for America <br>

<br>
