Simon & Garfunkel - America

"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

This song explains why I'm leaving home to become a stewardess...

[Chemicalnurd .]

Not sure if retarded or trolling.

[WeTheStrange]

I've no idea what you mean, but it sounds great!

[WeTheStrange]

Thank you for uploading this. Gibson guitar.

[Kathleen Hendrickson]

This is a favorite of mine. I am a huge fan I don't think you can get to be old unless you have been exposed to the essence of our reality. We are a lost art.

[sidDkid87]

because "they" suck . . . nah, there's good music out there today - maybe not THIS good - - - today's quality music is buried beneath the surface - you just gotta know where to dig : )

[Rambo4President]

What a classic tune.

[Scott Burka]

Like if you just watched this after the 2013 Bluecoats show announcement
