The Stranger Came to Town

from The Wanderer EP (7 Classic Country Songs) by Andrew Rodger

/

lyrics

Well he rode into town on his Appaloosa
Dressed all in black guitar on his back
Locked all the doors
Hid in the church’s steeple
They didn’t know the stranger didn’t hurt good people

Well The Stranger came to town
The Preacher tried to shoot him down
For living outside of the law
Stranger didn’t mind
These things happened all the time
He’d long ago lost his faith in God
He’d long ago lost his faith in God

Well The Stranger used to live a quiet life
Working on the land with his loving wife
Outlaws came around burned his life down to the ground
Now he searches for revenge as he goes from town to town

The Stranger came to town
The Preacher tried to shoot him down
For living outside of the law
Stranger didn’t mind
These things happened all the time
He’d long ago lost his faith in God
He’d long ago lost his faith in God

Well he rode into town on his Appaloosa
Dressed all in black guitar on his back
Locked all the doors
Hid in the church’s steeple
They didn’t know the stranger didn’t hurt good people

Well The Stranger came to town
The Preacher tried to shoot him down
For living outside of the law
Stranger didn’t mind
These things happened all the time
He’d long ago lost his faith in God
He’d long ago lost his faith in God
He’d long ago lost his faith in God
