Someone else's comment on the original version of this song: "The lyrics of The Wanderer tells the story of a preacher who embarks on a personal journey and embraces all that the world offers: Love, knowledge, money, etc, in fact the preacher is Johnny Cash that is looking for God, the lyrics encompass an apocalyptical future, Bono said that both worked in the composition of this song in Dublin, this song was inspired by the book of Ecclesiastes, one of the books of The Holy Bible, he said that they had decided to call it the preacher but finally decided to call it the wanderer, this is more than an excellent song, this one is a masterpiece..!." Putting it here so people can know more about the song and its origin.

Seems a lot of people in the comments don't know this is a U2 song that Bono and the Edge wrote and asked Johnny Cash to song on the 'Zooropa' album.

I would've liked to see Johnny Cash perform this live with U2. That would have been so cool. But, this version is incredible none the less. I like how many musical avenues U2 moves in & out of. That's why they've been around for so long. Simply, Superb musicianship by the entire band collectively. Timeless.

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 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

I actually wish the Edge would have sang the whole thing. Kind of like a Van Diemen's land type song. I think he would have sounded better than Bono for this song. But I know how much Johnny meant to Bono so I'm sure he really wanted to sing it.
