I'm always amazed how few Cash or U2 fans made it to the end of this album to hear this gem. "They say they want the Kingdom, but they don't want God in it". So true for so many.
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..!.
My favorite U2 song… and Bono doesn't even sing it! These are the greatest lyrics Bono has ever written and Johnny Cash makes the song perfect. What else can I say other than that this is simply amazing?
I'm in Hong Kong, it's 2020, and the government's grip tightens on us. This is my favorite song to walk the streets to and the soothing dignity of Johnny Cash never fails me.
Most people think this is Johnny's song, with U2 as guests. (The title of the UA-cam video suggests that this is the belief here as well "Johnny Cash feat. U2").
Johnny touched heaven and hell while being alive. Thanks U2 for this masterpiece made before the Man In Black died. What a lovely smile in Johnny's face. Now I understand why June fell in love with this handsome man. Johnny and June together forever

Jesus Christ leads us home now in 2023.
This desperate look in his eyes.....
U2 was right, too. They wrote it.
Big Johnny Cash fan this is a great song but we must give credit to Bono for writing such a good song
" l went out walking With a Bible and a Gun. The word if God lay heavy on my heart , I was sure l was the One." Edit.
One of the best songs ever made, and total respect to U2 for giving Johnny the lead on this one.. perfect 👌

Jonny cash and U2!.......Say no more......This is what the World needs right now!!
"I stopped outside a churchhouse,
I love U2 and Johny Cash. Simply a Masterpiece.
This is Actually THE BEGINNING of the revitalization of Cash’s Career. His first American Recording Album was made a year after this one.
I never get sick of this song, heard it 10000000000 times.......it is timeless...
What people fail to understand was this was the song that inspired Rick Rubin to have Johnny Cash record albums covering younger artists.
Some of the wisest lyrics ever written about faith, delivered in the most appropriate way by Johnny Cash.
Lyrically, this is one of the best songs ever written.
