Johnny Cash Album: The Essential Johnny Cash - Disc 2 (Legacy Recordings) Track: The Wanderer
The Wanderer Lyrics
I went out wandering Through streets paved with gold Lifted some stone saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out wandering Under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn And the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodby
Yeah I left 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 Yeah I went out walking Down that old Lake Lane I passed by a thousand signs Just a looking for my own name
Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering
Yeah I went out there in search of experience To tast and to touch and to feel as much As a man can before he repents
I went walking Looking for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would stand 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 paper Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering
Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you'd be there too I went wandering
