Intro :
I went out walking through streets paved with gold
l ifted some stones saw the skin and bones of a city without a soul.
I went out walking under an atomic sky
where the g round won't turn and the rain it burns
like the t ears when I said goodbye.
Y eah I went with n othing nothing but the thoug ht of you
I went w anderin g.
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
where m en can't walk or freely talk a nd sons turn their fathers in.
I st opped outside a church house where the citizens like to sit
they s ay they want the kingdom but t hey don't want God in it.
I went out riding down that ol' eight lane
I passed by a thousand sig ns looking for my own name.
I went with n othing but the t hought you'd be ther e too
looking for you.
I went out there in se arch of experience
to t aste and to touch and t o feel as much
as a man can before he repent s.
I went out searching lookin' for one good man
a sp irit 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 w ord of God lay heavy on my heart I w as sure I was the one.
Now J esus don't you wait up Jesus I'll be home soon
yeah I went out for the pap ers told her I'd be back by noon.
Y eah I left with n othing but the t hought you'd be t here too
looking for you.
Ye ah I left with n othing nothing but the t hought of you
I went w andering.
