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 goodbyeYeah I went with nothing

Nothing but the thought of you

I went wanderingI 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 itI went out riding

Down that old eight lane

I passed by a thousand signs

Looking for my own nameI went with nothing

But the thought you'd be there too

Looking for youI went out there

In search of experience

To taste and to touch

And to feel as much

As a man can

Before he repentsI 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 noonYeah I left with nothing

But the thought you'd be there too

Looking for youYeah I left with nothing

Nothing but the thought of you

I went wanderingOh ho
