The Wanderer (Johnny Cash ft. U2)

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
