I'm a stranger here, I just rode in your town
I'm a stranger here, I just rode in your town
And just because I'm a stranger, everybody dogs me around

[Verse 2]
Well, I wonder how come they treat a poor stranger so

And they all should remember, they've gotta reap just what they sow

Yes, sometimes I wondеr, do my baby know I'm here?
Well and if shе do, she sure don't even care, oh no

[Verse 5]
Well, my train turn here and tracks all out of line
Yes, this train turn here and the tracks all out of line
I'm gonna pack up my shoes and move on down the line
