The Wanderer (Short Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I went out walkin' through streets paved with gold Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walkin' under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye [Chorus] Yeah, I went with nothin' Nothin' but the thought of you I went wandering [Verse 2] 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 ol' eight-lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name [Chorus] I went with nothin' But the thought you'd be there, too Lookin' for you [Interlude] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] Yeah, I left with nothin' But the thought you'd be there, too Lookin' for you Yeah, I left with nothin' Nothin' but the thought of you I went wandering
