Welcome Stranger
These old columns hold the roof above her porch
They cast their shadows on the chairs that we all know
Where she would rock watch us till the sun went down
Then holler you two inside now
The same trees still hang above our street
Ninety-nine, I fell from one of these
When I hit the ground, it was her eyes I saw first
Blue like mine, just like mine
Welcome stranger, I'm sure glad to see your face
How you feel, I saw you fell from outer space
Do you need a hand to get right back onto your two feet
Let me help you along, dust you off, til we next meet
Over the years, she lost the kindness in her eyes
From the drink or from a man didn't treat her right
She would say I'm in the shell of my old life
When's it my turn to smile
Looking back now, I wish I never clenched my teeth
Never got mad that you got lost in all your grief
But now here you rest beneath that same old tree
When I finally see what you meant to me
Welcome stranger, I'm sure glad to see your face
How you feel, I saw you fell from outer space
Do you need a hand to get right back onto your two feet
Let me help you along, dust you off, til we next meet
Let me help you along, just you or who knows me
They cast their shadows on the chairs that we all know
Where she would rock watch us till the sun went down
Then holler you two inside now
The same trees still hang above our street
Ninety-nine, I fell from one of these
When I hit the ground, it was her eyes I saw first
Blue like mine, just like mine
Welcome stranger, I'm sure glad to see your face
How you feel, I saw you fell from outer space
Do you need a hand to get right back onto your two feet
Let me help you along, dust you off, til we next meet
Over the years, she lost the kindness in her eyes
From the drink or from a man didn't treat her right
She would say I'm in the shell of my old life
When's it my turn to smile
Looking back now, I wish I never clenched my teeth
Never got mad that you got lost in all your grief
But now here you rest beneath that same old tree
When I finally see what you meant to me
Welcome stranger, I'm sure glad to see your face
How you feel, I saw you fell from outer space
Do you need a hand to get right back onto your two feet
Let me help you along, dust you off, til we next meet
Let me help you along, just you or who knows me
