The Wanderer

I went out walking
 Through streets paved with gold
 Lifted some stones
 Saw the skin and bones
 Of a city without a soul
 I went out walking
 Under an atomic sky
 Where the ground won't turn
 And the rain it burns
 Like the tears when I said goodbye
 Yeah I went with nothing
 Nothing but the thought of you
 I went wandering
 ♪
 I went drifting
 sponsored links
 Through the capitals of tin
 Where men can't walk
 Or freely talk
 And sons turn their fathers in
 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
 I went out riding
 Down that old eight lane
 I passed by a thousand signs
 Looking for my own name
 I went with nothing
 But the thought you'd be there too
 Looking for you
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 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
 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
 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
 Yeah I left with nothing
 But the thought you'd be there too
 Looking for you
 Yeah I left with nothing
 Nothing but the thought of you
