20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

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 

CHORUS 

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 

CHORUS 

I went out with nothing 

nothing but the thought of you 

I went wandering 

I went out walking 

down that winding road 

where no one's trusting no one 

and conscience... a too heavy load 

I went out riding, down that ol'eight lane 

I passed by a thousand signs 

looking for my own name 

CHORUS 

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
