[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1: Jon Anderson, Anderson & Chris Squire]
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
[Refrain: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
And walked on, walked on, walked on, to look for America

[Verse 2: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
Kathy, I said, as we boarded the greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
Took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
[Refrain: Anderson & Squire]
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America

[Bridge: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
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 bow tie is really a camera'

[Verse 3: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
'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, the moon rose, the moon rose, over an open field
[Verse 4: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
'Kathy, I'm lost', I said, although I knew she was sleeping
But I'm empty and aching, and I don't know why I'm
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
[Refrain: Anderson & Squire]
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America

[Guitar solo: Steve Howe]

[Verse 4: Anderson, Anderson & Squire]
'Kathy, I'm lost', I said, although I knew she was sleeping
But I'm empty and aching and I don't know why I'm
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
[Refrain: Anderson & Squire]
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America

[Refrain: Anderson & Squire]
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

[Outro: Anderson]
America!
America!
America!
