I went out walking
Through 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

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
Looking 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
