Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And we walked off to look for America [Verse 2] Cathy, I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburg Michigan seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw [Chorus] [Verse 3] Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces She said the man in the gaberdine 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 Cathy, I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike [Chorus] [Instrumental break] Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike [Chorus]
