I hear the church bells ring
I hear the choir sing
As I walk along the main street of this town
Passing shops and stores
I've never seen before
I'm just a stranger in this town
It was a womans' cold, cold heart
And a world torn apart,
That sent me running down this road alone
Because a memory left behind
That's a memory out of mind
And I'm just a stranger in this town
And if those white lines don't lure me away,
I just might decide to stay
But for now I'm just another face unfamiliar to your eyes
I'm just a stranger in this town
I've heard the highways' song
I've sang it all too long,
Trying to escape her memory
Maybe someday I'll see
That she's just not the one for me
But for now I'm just a stranger in this town
And if her smiling face don't lure me away,
I just might decide to stay
But for now I'm just a drifter, a loner, and a loser
I'm just a stranger in this town
I'm just a stranger in this town
