Lyrics
Nobody Talks to a Stranger
Chorus:
I walk alone through your city,
The street lamp by the bar is my best friend.
And nobody talks to a stranger,
Everybody wishes I’d go home
A soft satin jacket, the finest French perfume,
The glitter of your golden locks of hair.
These are the tools you use to abuse
A country boy like me,
Don’t lead me on if I can’t be our man.
Chorus:
I walk alone through your city,
The street lamp by the bar is my best friend.
And nobody talks to a stranger,
Everybody wishes I’d go home.
Lipstick on a napkin, and empty bottle of wine,
The tip you gave that man behind the door.
These are the clues you choose to use
And lose your lovesick boy.
I’m beginning to believe you just don’t care.
Chorus:
I walk alone through your city,
The street lamp by the bar is my best friend.
And nobody talks to a stranger,
Everybody wishes I’d go home
I’ll leave come Monday morning, and I ain’t comin’ back,
If you keep up this sad game of hide and seek.
I refuse to excuse the pain and bruise you placed upon my heart.
I’ll bury my dead heart and just go home.
Chorus:
I walk alone through your city,
The street lamp by the bar is my best friend.
And nobody talks to a stranger,
Everybody wishes I’d go home.
