Stranger in My Place

Statler Brothers · Country Music Then and Now [Mercury] [1972]

(Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy)



I see the town where we were born

I see the place we were raised

I see all the things you wanted that I never gave

I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



I can see where we quarreled I can see I was wrong

I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



No one seems to know you quite like I do

No one knows the things that make you cry

And looking back it seems I never showed you

And now I lay alone and wonder why.



I can see where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true

I can see where I have fallen short of things I promised you

I can see through my tear filled eyes no love on your face

I must get use to see the strangers in my place.



I must get use to see the strangers in my place...
