Wanderer

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 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.           I went out searching lookin' 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.
