Just arrived on the seventeen
Thought I'd see the old gang again
But you know how they come and go
I'm just a stranger in town
Everywhere everyone I see
Seems to wonder who I can be
And I swear no one seems to care
About a stranger in town
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street
The weeds have grown 'round the gate
Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet
But it looks like I'm too late
Guess I'll leave on the twelve-oh-two
Can't believe that there's no more you
Is there nothing for me, will I always be
A stranger in my own hometown
