"The Wanderer" is the tenth and final track from U2's 1993 album, Zooropa. It features country legend Johnny Cash on lead vocals. It is one of the few U2 songs not to feature Bono on lead vocals at any point. The Edge provides harmonising backing-vocals throughout the song, as well as the country style howl that is often mistaken for Bono at the end.
The lyrics describe a man searching for God in a post-Apocalyptic world. Although neither U2 nor Cash ever performed it live in concert until U2's latest tour, U2 played it in a television special entitled I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash, following Cash's death in 2003. The special performance of the song featured The Edge adding dramatic falsetto background vocals.
As there is no guitar riff, Adam Clayton's synthesized bassline is the prominent musical sound throughout the song, although Larry Mullen's drumbeats can be heard clearly in the background.
The song is followed on the album by about twenty seconds of a constant siren sound that represents the feedback that disc jockeys hear after a record is removed from a turntable.
An extended version of the song featuring an extra verse is included on the soundtrack to the film Faraway, So Close! The extended version is 5:16 in length.
The song was included on the Johnny Cash compilations, The Essential Johnny Cash (Legacy/Columbia, 2003) and The Legend of Johnny Cash (American/Island, 2005) and The Legend.
