Lyrics
All the way from Hollywood
Pass swamp motels on a greyhound bus
Got a tune in my head from Atlantic City
Make my connection going east of Mississippi
Ooh, Ah, this is how,
How the story goes
I'm Crossing America
Vagabonding America
Wind up at Speedy's down in Chicago
She's got a shoot-up shack on a slot machine road
Hit the main drag getting out of control
So its kiss-off avenue and we're going on to Mexico
We're Crossing America
Vagabonds in America
Hit some friends for the old fuzz magic
Goosed out at Boulder, the trip was traumatic
Holed up in Cheyenne, was read the fifth amendment
Figured what the hell; they'd split for Denver
They're crossing America
I'm in NYC and in the mood for love
I find it at Nolita's on the Lower East Side
Lost it in West Village, got a shake down in Philly
So I hit the bars hard in Illinois then St Louis
