I'm a stranger
Just blowed in your town
So I've worn my train fare home
So I have no worries on my brain
I'm a stranger, yeah
Just blowed in your town
Oh, yes, I am
I'm a stranger, yeah
Just blowed in your town
Well, because I'm a stranger
Everybody wants to dog me around
Well, I wonder why
Some people dream of stranger souls
Oh, yes, I do
I wonder why
Some people dream of stranger souls
Well, he may be your best friend
That you will never know
I'm gonna ride home to daddy
Send me my railroad fare
Oh, yes, I am
I'm gonna ride home to daddy
Send me my railroad fare
Well, if he don't send it
I don't mind walking down
Go ahead, then
Yeah, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da-da
Yes, yes
Well, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here
Oh, yes, I do
But I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here
Oh, yes, I do

Well, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here
Well, if she do, she just don't seem to care
Well, I'm going back home to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Oh, yes, I am
I'm going back home to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well, when I get back home
I won't have these old stranger clothes
I'm going to leave this town
Nothing here that I can do
Oh, no, it ain't
I'm going to leave this town
Nothing here that I can do, my boy
Sit right here in the troubadour
Sing these old stranger blues
Let's go out together
Yes, yes, yes
I'm going back home to wear out 99 pair of shoes
