about
"Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike/ They've all gone to look for America" -from 'America' by Paul Simon
Unlike the rest of the songs on the album 'Bookends,' Paul Simon wrote 'America' in blank verse, without any rhyming couplets.
lyrics
we counted the cars on the new jersey turnpike,
we counted the cars on the parkway too
till you dozed off, your head on my shoulder,
somewhere around 4600
that was the summer we had all the time,
take your mom's car to the diner while she's sleeping between shifts,
coffee at 4am some pancakes between us some bacon dear jesus
like a temple of chrome and aluminum, a flash of some gold hallelujah
through the window, the sunrise over the airfield
grandma had a garden, growing up, she showed me where her
string beans, and lettuce, summer squash,
and now it’s all asphalt outside the gas station parking lot,
where we skateboard sometimes
my papa had a farm,' she said 'i hid in the wagon once,
“this whole county was a garden i couldnt help myself,
there wasn't a bridge then and the empire state
surrounded in scaffolds, I was so jealous of those vegetables
so in an empty tomato crate, i ached all the way to the ferry
when they found me I asked 'are we there yet?'
my papa said, 'katherine I thought you were lost'
we tried cigarettes, out by the overpass
I made a face and spit when you looked out at the road
“come on” you said “we've still got a whole pack left”
so we counted the cars on the new jersey turnpike
we counted the cars on the parkway too,
and for a second as I fell asleep on your shoulder
I wondered to myself where they're all going
cause through the glass and the chrome
in a flash of gold and aluminum and sunset
for a second through the smoke
i thought i saw america
and we were already here
