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.
