Artist/Band: Elvis Presley
Lyrics for Song: Stranger in My Own Home Town
Lyrics for Album: Back in Memphis



I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town

My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't get him down

I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago

But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more

My home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more

I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes I did
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
Yeah, I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down

I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes I did
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down

I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down


Stranger in My Own Home Town

Elvis Presley's "Stranger in My Own Home Town" stands as a poignant song on the "Back in Memphis" album, released in 1969. Recorded during his final sessions in the city that launched his career, the track reflects a somber mood and introspective lyrics about the complexities of returning to one's roots. The song features Presley's signature vocal delivery, blending rockabilly roots with the soulful depth characteristic of his later work. Released during a period of significant artistic evolution, the recording captures the tension between nostalgia and the challenges of reintegration. It remains a notable example of Presley's ability to convey deep emotion through his music, showcasing his versatility as a performer well into the 1960s.
