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 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
  I went wandering
