I went out walking thru the streets paved with gold
lifted some stones, saw the skins and bones
of a city without a soul
I went 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 nothin'
nothin' but the thought of you
I went wanderin'
I went driftin' thru 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 ridin' down that ol' eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
lookin' for my own name
I went with nothin'
but the thought you'd be there too
lookin' for you
I went out searchin' lookin' for one good man
a spirit who would not bend or break
who could sit at his Father's right hand
I went out walkin' 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 a paper
told you I'd be back by noon
Yeah, I went with nothin'
nothin' but the thought of you
I went wanderin'
