The Wanderer Lyrics 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 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 late 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
-Solo-
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, I went wandering
-Solo-
