My boy and me We're refugees of sorts From my hometown They don't like different there They would've mowed us down - Paul Simon

Well I'm accustomed to a smooth ride,
Or maybe I'm a dog that's lost its bite,
I don't expect to be treated like a fool, no, no,
I don't expect to sleep long nights,
Some people say a lie is just a lie but I say,
Why deny the obvious child?

It's easy to be generous when you're on a roll
It's hard to be grateful when you're out of control

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
