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 |
