The Stranger - Kenny Rogers[00:00:01]
Stranger I know where you'll find her[00:00:12]
Down the road from here about a mile and a quarter[00:00:15]
You'll know the place by a shackey barn[00:00:23]
That stands in the field by a run-down farm[00:00:26]
By a pond filled up with stagnant water[00:00:29]
Then you'll see a shack nearby you'll ask yourself[00:00:37]
I wonder why it looks so cold and lifeless all around[00:00:41]
Chimney rocks are fallin' out it looks as though[00:00:49]
The fire's gone out and the biggest part[00:00:53]
Of the house is rotted down[00:00:56]
Though stranger I ain't seen her lately[00:01:03]
She don't come around here like she used to[00:01:11]
You've got her pictured in your mind[00:01:17]
Pretty gentle sweet and kind[00:01:20]
You've practiced every word you're gonna say[00:01:23]
You'll call her name but she won't hear you[00:01:31]
She's in the graveyard near you[00:01:35]
She died ten years ago last May[00:01:37]
There was a man she talked about a man she had to live without[00:01:51]
Years ago he just turned and left one day[00:01:57]
He left her with an unborn child[00:02:02]
And a love for him that never died[00:02:05]
And an aching heart that sent her to an early grave[00:02:08]
Yes stranger I know who you are I recognized you from afar[00:02:16]
But you ain't never seen me not one time[00:02:22]
Yes I know that you're my dad[00:02:28]
From pictures that my Momma had[00:02:31]
And it was me and Momma that you left behind[00:02:34]
Stranger you will find her there[00:02:42]
In a peaceful sleep on yonder hill[00:02:51]
Where we once walked as I do still[00:02:57]
To pick her flowers from the field[00:03:03]
Momma don't need you anymore[00:03:11]
And I don't need you like before[00:03:13]
You can go on back to where you went before[00:03:16]
You're just a stranger[00:03:24]
