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
"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 (sing365)
In this song, Paul Simon and his long time girlfriend Kathy Chitty (from "Kathy's song") are coming to America (moving from England). Paul is deeply confused and unsatisfied, but he doesn't know why. He just knows that something is missing. It is also about the "American Dream" - the guarantee that you will make it if you stumble upon this country. That is why they are coming to America.
