Stranger In My Home Town — текст песни (The Foghat)

Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP




Who`s that stranger walking out in the cold?
Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
He may be a psychopath, he`s acting so strange,
Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
He stares across at a house on the block,
Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
What will he say when they open the door?
"This was my home, but it ain`t no more."

He can`t get Brixton, out of his system.
It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it`s hard to forget it.

Way back in `59, a young boy was crying, he didn`t want to leave, but what could he say?
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he`d back some day.

Stranger in my home town, I`m just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can`t believe it - this ain`t no place to be.

Who`s that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
Staring at the back yard, he`s gonna fall.
He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
I wish I could remember where I`ve seen him before.

Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
He acts like he`s stranded, but that`s how he planned it.

Way back in `59, a young boy was crying, he didn`t want to leave, but what could he say?
Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he`d back some day.

Stranger in my home town, I`m just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can`t believe it - this ain`t no place to be.

{Dave - Solo}

Stranger in my home town, I`m just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can`t believe it - this ain`t no place to be.

Stranger in my home town, I`m just a stranger in my home town.
Stranger in my home town, whoo! Stranger in my home town. I`m just a stranger.

{Dave - Solo}

I`m a stranger, a stranger - I`m a stranger, a stranger ...
