Stranger in My Own Home Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm like a stranger
Stranger in my own hometown
I'm like a stranger
Stranger in my own hometown
Some folks I've known since my childhood
Just don't seem to want me around

[Verse 2]
I came home with good intentions
About five or six years ago, I did
I came home with good intentions
Just about five or six years ago
But my hometown won't accept me
And I just don't feel welcome here no more, no
Play it

[Bridge]
Play it

[Instrumental]

I know

[Instrumental]

Now look here

[Verse 3]
I built a house on a hilltop
'Cause, you see, I'm a family man
I work hard in my kind of business
Doing the very best I can
Now, I don't mistreat nobody
And they'll lie if they say I do
And I rеalize that there arе some here that like me
But they're so very, very few
I'm like a stranger
Stranger in my own hometown
My so-called friends stopped being friendly
But they can't keep a good man down, oh no

[Outro]
I'm like a stranger
Stranger in my own hometown—and I don't like it
I'm a stranger
Stranger in my own hometown
'Cause my so-called friends stopped being friendly
But they can't keep a good man down
Can't keep a good man down
