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
