"The Wanderer" is the final track on U2's 1993 album Zooropa. The song is notable for featuring country musician Johnny Cash on lead vocals rather than band member Bono, making it one of the few U2 songs without Bono in the lead vocal role. The track combines Cash's distinctive vocal style with synthesized bass and predominantly electronic musical elements.
