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
