Stranger In My Own Home Town

I'm like a stranger

Like a stranger in my own home town

I'm like a stranger

Like a stranger in my own home townMy so-called friends stopped being friendly

Oh, but you can't keep a good man down

No, can't get him downI came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago

I came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago, ohMy home town won't accept me

Just don't feel welcome here no moreTell me why, man!My home town won't accept me

I just don't feel welcome here no moreI came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago, yes I did

I came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago

But my home town won't accept me

Just don't feel welcome here no more

I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town

Yeah, I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town

My so-called friends stopped being friendly

Oh, but you can't keep a good man downBoyo, play it down nowI came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago, yes I did

I came home with good intentions

About five or six years ago

My so-called friends stopped being friendly

Oh, but you can't keep a good man downPlay it again, play it againYeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town

I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town

My so-called friends stopped being friendly

Oh, but you can't keep a good man down
