Searchin’ U.S.A.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been to Pauline's Cafe in Bellingham Jack said he'd be with me in a minute I asked him for a glass of water He said, "What for, you want to put some LSD in it?" There's already speed, marijuana in the hashbrowns Pauline always gets a kick out of that crap And that kind of service brings customers back [Chorus] And all my identity baby is blowing away with the wind Don't know who is knocking but I don't want to let him in I guess I must be a part of what they call today But tell the world I'm searchin', searchin' USA [Verse 2] Well, I've been to the Alderwood Mall And I must admit it's pretty doggone big You can buy anything that you want there If you're some kind of mental fig But I can't criticize my own elders It was them that brought me up here But they could've picked a better year [Chorus] And all my identity baby is blowing away with the wind Don't know where I'm going but I think that it's time to begin I guess what they taught me in school must be a better way But tell the teacher I'm searchin', searchin' USA [Verse 3] Now I've been to old Milwaukee And I painted that Styrofoam nun I placed her up on the mantle With my empty bottles of rum Now my friends all think that I'm so funny 'Cuz these things that I do are bizarre But they haven't really got me too far [Chorus] And all my identity baby is blowing away with the wind Don't know what I'm fighting and that makes it much harder to win So if people start asking about me there's not a whole lot that you can say Tell everybody I'm searchin', searchin' USA Tell everybody I'm searchin', searchin' USA [Outro] Alright boys, here we go Hit 'em up, move 'em out (Ho-ho)
