Lyrics
Stranger In My Own Hometown I went to look for all the old places They’re tearin’ all my old haunts down People look at you with funny faces Like you’re a tourist down in Chinatown I passed by all the parks we played in They’re ten or twenty stories high The people there are barricaded They might as well be paralyzed Don’t you know it’s a crime I feel like I’m a… Stranger in my own hometown Stranger in my own hometown The movie house we matineed in Can park a thousand cars a day That little restaurant we ate in It burned down and they moved away A highway runs across the meadow Where flowers used to bloom in spring Now bitter faces line the ghetto How can this all be happening? Don’t you know it’s a crime I feel like I’m a… Stranger in my own hometown Stranger in my own hometown The parade is passing by, I see my memories slowly fade away (Solo) Don’t you know it’s a crime I feel like I’m a… Stranger in my own hometown Stranger in my own hometown
