I thought I saw my President walking through Harlem late after dark

You write them a check and you then add zero
In a world of love where they burn like Nero

Looking For Lewis And Clark
I was standing alone in Mabuhay Gardens (looking for Lewis and Clark!)
I was thinking about the late Tim Hardin
Well, when Tim get to heaven hope he told Gram
About the Long Ryders and just who I am

Looking for Lewis and Clark
I thought I saw my government running away with my heart
I thought I heard Mubute anthems in Johannesburg after dark
You can find them in the yellow pages, baby

Looking for Lewis and Clark
Looking for Lewis and Clark
Looking for Lewis and Clark
I said a Louie-Louie Lou...
