I went out walking through the 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 wont 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 cant 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 dont want God in it
I went out riding, down that ol eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name
I went with nothing
But the thought youd be there too
Looking for you
I went out there in search of experience
To taste and to touch and to feels 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 could sit at his fathers 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, dont you wait up, Jesus, Ill be home soon
Yeah, I went out for the papers
Told her Id be back by noon
Yeah, I left with nothing
But the thought youd be there too
Looking for you
Yeah, I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
