"Stranger In My Own Home Town" lyrics

"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 town
My so-called friends stopped being friendly, oh, but you can't keep a good man down
No, you can't get him down

I came home with good intentions about five or six years ago
I came home with good intentions about five or six years ago
My home town won't accept me, just don't feel welcome here no more
My home town won't accept me, just don't feel welcome here no more

I came home with good intentions about five or six years ago
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 down
Blow your brains out

I 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 down
No, you can't, play it again, play it again

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

No, you can't
Yeah, baby
Yeah, baby
Yeah, baby
Yeah, give me a clap, give me a clap
Yeah, yeah, ah
My so-called friends stopped being friendly, oh, but you can't keep a good man down
Bring it home, bring it home, bring it home, bring it home
