The Wanderer

[Verse 1]

I went out walkin' through streets paved with gold

Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones

Of a city without a soul

[Verse 2]

I went out walkin' under an atomic sky

Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns

Like the tears when I said goodbye

[Chorus]

Yeah, I went with nothin'

Nothin' but the thought of you

I went wandering

[Verse 3]

I went drifting through the capitals of tin

Where men can't walk or freely talk

And sons turn their fathers in

[Verse 4]

I stopped outside a church house where the citizens like to sit

They say they want the kingdom

But they don't want God in it

[Verse 5]

I went out ridin' down that old eight-lane

I passed by a thousand signs

Looking for my own name

[Chorus]

I went with nothin'

But the thought you'd be there too

Lookin' for you

[Bridge]

I went out there in search of experience

To taste and to touch and to feel as much

As a man can before he repents

[Verse 6]

I went out searching, looking for one good man

A spirit who would not bend or break

Who would sit at his father's right hand

[Verse 7]

I went out walking with a bible and a gun

The word of God lay heavy on my heart

I was sure I was the one

[Verse 8]

Now Jesus, don't you wait up, Jesus I'll be home soon

Yeah, I went out for the papers

Told her I'd be back by noon

[Chorus]

Yeah, I left with nothin'

But the thought you'd be there too

Lookin' for you

Yeah, I left with nothin'

Nothin' but the thought of you

I went wandering
