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 wanderin
