Never Met a Stranger
He ain't ever met a stranger
Reach out your hand, he's gonna shake 'er
Well, if you don't know him yet
He's just a friend you haven't met
He ain't ever met a stranger
Morning starts with a coffee
And a couple Camel wides
Sittin' out there on the front porch
Wavin' at the people that are drivin' by
He's a bit of a landmark
Folks 'round here know my old man
He might be thumbin' through the paper
Or pickin' on a guitar in his hands
But I'll have you know when he was younger
Had wild streak and that's a fact
Left school and flew to California
Then hitchhiked the whole way back
Spent years singin' in the taverns
Then met my mom and settled down
Always impressed her when they'd go out
'Cause he knew everyone around
He ain't ever met a stranger
Reach out you hand, he's gonna shake 'er
Well, if you don't him yet
He's just a friend you haven't met
He'll catch your name sooner or later
He'll be the last damn dog to die
When the party shuts down for the night
Might raise some hell, wake up the neighbors
Jack is still his favorite flavor
He ain't ever met a stranger
You oughta see him work a jukebox
Drop in a quarter on a track
Stutter step across the barroom
Two steps forward, one step back
I can't say he's born to boogie
There ain't no shame in his game
And they all know him on the dance floor
Whiskey Legs is his name
He ain't ever met a stranger
The man ain't got no sense of danger
He'll walk right up and shake your hand
Knowing nothing 'bout the man
Boys, he ain't no player hater
He'll be the last damn dog to die
When the party shuts down for the night
Might raise some hell but praise the savior
Jack is still his favorite flavor
He ain't ever met a stranger
Offer to light your cigarette
Help you sing a duet
He has never met a stranger
Reach out your hand, he's gonna shake 'er
Well, if you don't know him yet
He's just a friend you haven't met
He ain't ever met a stranger
Morning starts with a coffee
And a couple Camel wides
Sittin' out there on the front porch
Wavin' at the people that are drivin' by
He's a bit of a landmark
Folks 'round here know my old man
He might be thumbin' through the paper
Or pickin' on a guitar in his hands
But I'll have you know when he was younger
Had wild streak and that's a fact
Left school and flew to California
Then hitchhiked the whole way back
Spent years singin' in the taverns
Then met my mom and settled down
Always impressed her when they'd go out
'Cause he knew everyone around
He ain't ever met a stranger
Reach out you hand, he's gonna shake 'er
Well, if you don't him yet
He's just a friend you haven't met
He'll catch your name sooner or later
He'll be the last damn dog to die
When the party shuts down for the night
Might raise some hell, wake up the neighbors
Jack is still his favorite flavor
He ain't ever met a stranger
You oughta see him work a jukebox

Jack is still his favorite flavor
He ain't ever met a stranger
Offer to light your cigarette
Help you sing a duet
He has never met a stranger
