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

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's 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 could 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
Yea 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
