Turn Homeward Stranger

[Chorus]
Turn homeward, stranger
There's nothin' to know
You'll just wind up like me
Down on sinner's row

[Verse 1]
Your eyes may be amazed to see the dazzling city lights
But if you shield your eyes a while you'll see far beyond the night
You'll see the flitting shadows dart whose eyes don't see the sun
With hands that cannot hold a match and feet that cannot run

[Chorus]
Turn homeward, stranger
There's nothin' to know
You'll just wind up like me
Down on sinner's row

[Verse 2]
You'll see the starin' painted eyes smilin' down at you
Sayin' that you're home at last, come in and join the queue
But listen what I'm tellin' you, gеt out before you find
This place has got into your soul, it's stampеd upon your mind

[Chorus]
Turn homeward, stranger
There's nothin' to know
You'll just wind up like me
Down on sinner's row

[Verse 3]
For if you're shackled to it then you never can be free
For every craving that you've got it'll make you bend the knee
You may believe you've got a chance that it's you who holds the gun
But it's better first to learn to walk before you try to run
