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
