Counting the cars on the NJ Turnpike (WHOOO HOOOO)

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
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 cigaret I think there's one in the raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenary 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



lost

1. Whiplash back to 1968. Wow. Didn't help that my first love was named Cathy.

5. Cathy's Song was probably a real killer, eh?

:hi:

7. Oh, my, what a sad story of 15 year old love....

We met in June, and knew all along that my family was moving 300 miles away on August 15. First love doomed from the start. It still feels unfinished.

2. Damn earworm.

I start humming that song every time I'm on a highway (any highway) in New Jersey.

3. For years, every time Mom and I drove back and forth from CT to MD

as soon as I hit the GWB (or DMB), I'd start in: "One, two, three, four..." "What are you doing, Kama?" "I'm 'counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike'!"

4. Man, I love Simon and Garfunkle....

The Boxer was the first song of theirs that I knew and loved... I may yet teach myself to play guitar just to be able to accompany myself, singing along...

6. Pffth! What about the Garden State Parkway?

They count you thru nearly 40 toll booths!

8. Did you ever hear Yes do this song? It was the first version I ever heard. Love them both!
