I went out walking
Through the 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

   / / / CD - /

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

   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

(/ - - /) / - / - / / CD - /

I went out searching
Lookin' for one good man
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
