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 old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs looking for my own name
Yea I went with nothing, but the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

E--------------------------------------0--3--3--
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, 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
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
