Stranger in My Home Town (2016 Remaster) - Foghat

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

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

Stranger in my home town

I'm just a stranger in my home town

Stranger in my home town whoo
