America by soboy5

America

"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 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...
Cathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping
And 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..."

Honoring the father of the United States today, this President's Day, 2017. The Washington Square Arch is located in Greenwich Village. Here is more information about the arch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Square_Arch

Fabulous !! Great detail too. I saw Paul Simon sing this at the end of last year - can you imagine? It was like a dream.
