So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
And walked off

To hitch-hike from Saginaw.

And the moon rose over an open field.
"Kathy, I'm lost", I said,
Though I know she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and
I don't know why."

On the New Jersey Turnpike

To look for America,
All come to look for America,
All come to look for America.
