The wanderer

F 
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold 
 Bb 
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones 
      F 
Of a city without a soul 
I went out walking under an atomic sky 
          Bb 
Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns 
          F 
Like the tears when I said goodbye 
 
 
 Dm              Bb 
Yeah I went with nothing 
 F                         C 
Nothing but the thought of you 
                Dm-Bb-C-F 
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 as much 
As a man can before he repents 
 
I went out searching, lookin' for one good man 
A spirit who would not bend or break 
Who would 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
