Lyrics
Stranger in My Town
By Nick Justice
I’ve had good days and bad days and days in between
The trouble that made me could never be foreseen
Mama prayed every night that I wouldn’t come around
I became a stranger in my town
I grew up the hard way couldn’t count on any luck
Daddy’s drunken right hand well it taught me how to duck
Made my way to Tennessee never to be found
I became a stranger in my town
But the road it seemed familiar like I’d travel it before
And the house it seemed to welcome but it was missing a front door
The rusted car in the driveway well it seemed to be broke down
I became a stranger in my town
Well the road it seemed familiar like I’d travel it before
And the house it seemed to welcome but it was missing a front door
The rusted car in the driveway well it seemed to be broke down
I became a stranger in my town
Well the stories quite familiar different faces other times
you can find it in small traces in the memories left behind
As I sit and watch the wind blow all those leaves to the ground
I became a stranger in my town
