A Stranger In My Home Town.

I came home for the holidays.
Man I hadn’t been home in years
So I took a walk down Main Street.
Taking in all of its Christmas cheer.

I had left this town in the 80’s
Just tryin' to find my way
Always thinking I’d be famous,
And come back here one day
Oh the People would crowd and clamor
Making it hard to get around
But I came back home to this place
And this is what I found.

That I’m a stranger in my own home town
No one even gives me a second thought as I walk around
I went away to come back famous
But I came home and I found
That I’m a stranger in my home town

I saw somebody that I use to know.
Surely she would remember me
So I walked right up to her.
As she stood in front of the town’s Christmas tree.

I said it had been a long, long time
Girl I can’t remember when.
I talked to her like there was nothing new
She turned to me with a sheepish grin
And at just that very moment it was then I knew.

I was still a stranger in my home town
No wonder no one even sees me as I walk around
Guess I went away to be famous
But I came home and I found
That I’m just a stranger in my home town

Yes I’m only another stranger in my own home town.
