America

by Simon & Garfunkel

Lyrics

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's pies
And we walked off to look for America
full lyrics
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's pies
And we walked off to look for America

America when the roads were wide open and hitchhiking was a choice for safe and cheap ride to places
Sweet sweet innocence... . . . . . . .
Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
So he looked at the scenery, while I read my magazine...

These collections of S & G are entertaining a whole new generation. My teenage children LOVE these! It's also nice to have them listening to music I can listen to... like "Daddy, I found this cool group! They're called REO..." I love it!

I love this song. It has these sort of sweet, light lyrics, then at the end there's that one line:

"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 come to look for America

It's perfect.
