Ray Charles - A Stranger in Town

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
