stranger in my own home town - ray charles lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m like a stranger
stranger in my own hometown
i’m like a stranger
stranger in my own hometown
some folks i’ve known since my childhood
just don’t seem to want me around

[verse 2]
i came home with good intentions
about five or six years ago, i did
i came home with good intentions
just about five or six years ago
but my hometown won’t accept me
and i just don’t feel welcome here no more, no
play it

[bridge]
play it

[instrumental]

i know

[instrumental]
now look here

[verse 3]
i built a house on a hilltop
’cause, you see, i’m a family man
i work hard in my kind of business
doing the very best i can
now, i don’t mistreat n0body
and they’ll lie if they say i do
and i rеalize that there arе some here that like me
but they’re so very, very few
i’m like a stranger
stranger in my own hometown
my so*called friends stopped being friendly
but they can’t keep a good man down, oh no

[outro]
i’m like a stranger
stranger in my own hometown—and i don’t like it
i’m a stranger
stranger in my own hometown
’cause my so*called friends stopped being friendly
but they can’t keep a good man down
can’t keep a good man down
