America (Sommar radio show 2012) Songtext
von First Aid Kit

Let us be lovers, we′ll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
Ooh so, we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner′s pies
And we walked off to look for America

Cathy, 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
Ooh 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 aching and, I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They′ve all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
