    Chorus:
    "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
    And walked off to look for America
    "Kathy," 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"
    So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
    And the moon rose over an open field
    "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
    All come to look for America
    All come to look for America

      @@murilomartins1954 MJ could sing, but it's hard to picture MJ singing this, certainly not as it is. However, his own version in his own distinctive and inimitable style and there is never any other, might always have been worth hearing, but generally speaking perhaps due to ego clashes, big artists do not seem to like covering or performing the songs of other major artists, not that there are no exceptions to this trend. MJ was probably recognized as a solo act which was not too bad either.

    I was born and raised in Corona Queens in the 50s-60s. Paul Simon was raised in Forest Hills, Queens, at the same time, the next town over. Corona being predominately Italian and then Dominican started to grow; Forest Hills was predominately Jewish. Anyway, perhaps an incredible coincidence but back in the 60s there was a white Italian girl from Corona named Rosemary D. (I am deliberately leaving out her last name) who befriended the Spanish kids (unusual at that time see West Side Story) and "hung-out" by Linden Park in Corona located just across the street from PS 16 a Junior High School on 104th Street. I believe to this day that "Rosie the Queen of Corona seeing Julio down by the school yard" was actually Rosemary D. with her Spanish friends across the street from the school yard. Perhaps a coincidence but if so an incredible one.
