Lyrics

[00:21.19] I went out walking
[00:24.68] Through streets paved with gold
[00:29.16] Lifted some stones
[00:31.03] Saw the skin and bones
[00:33.09] Of a city without a soul
[00:37.46] I went out walking
[00:41.52] Under an atomic sky
[00:44.95] Where the ground won't turn
[00:47.32] And the rain it burns
[00:49.12] Like the tears when I said goodbye
[00:53.81] Yeah I went with nothing
[00:57.87] Nothing but the thought of you
[01:01.25] I went wandering
[01:10.30] I went drifting
[01:13.80] Through the capitals of tin
[01:18.04] Where men can't walk
[01:20.10] Or freely talk
[01:22.10] And sons turn their fathers in
[01:26.10] I stopped outside a church house
[01:29.84] Where the citizens like to sit
[01:34.33] They say they want the kingdom
[01:38.08] But they don't want God in it
[01:42.82] I went out riding
[01:47.38] Down that old eight lane
[01:50.87] I passed by a thousand signs
[01:54.99] Looking for my own name
[01:59.17] I went with nothing
[02:02.61] But the thought you'd be there too
[02:06.47] Looking for you
[02:25.70] I went out there
[02:27.66] In search of experience
[02:31.49] To taste and to touch
[02:33.99] And to feel as much
[02:36.74] As a man can
[02:38.61] Before he repents
[02:48.38] I went out searching
[02:52.50] Looking for one good man
[02:56.24] A spirit who would not bend or break
[03:00.30] Who would sit at his father's right hand
[03:04.60] I went out walking
[03:08.28] With a bible and a gun
[03:12.34] The word of God lay heavy on my heart
[03:16.40] I was sure I was the one
[03:21.43] Now Jesus don't you wait up
[03:25.43] Jesus I'll be home soon
[03:28.99] Yeah I went out for the papers
[03:33.11] Told her I'd be back by noon
[03:37.34] Yeah I left with nothing
[03:41.03] But the thought you'd be there too
[03:44.59] Looking for you
[03:53.81] Yeah I left with nothing
[03:57.81] Nothing but the thought of you
[04:01.18] I went wandering
