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
