a stranger in town

just arrived on the seven-ten

thought i'd see the old gang again

but you know how they come and go

i'm just a stranger in town

everywhere

everyone i see

seems to wonder who can i be

and i swear no-one seems to care

about a stranger in town

i saw a cottage on a lonely old street

the weeds have grown round the gate

somehow i felt that you would wait here my sweet

but it looks like i'm too late

guess i'll leave on the twelve-o-two

can't believe that there's no more you

is there nothing for me

will i always be

a stranger in my own home town?

it hurts to be alone

with no-one of your own

when you're a stranger in your own home town
