The Stranger (He Was The Kind)
Yeah well he was the kind who'd pay no mind
When he was bumped into.
He was the kind that let you find out
All that he knew.
He never got uptight, never started a fight,
Never threw so much as a dart.
He was a man after my own heart.
He loved people, people loved him,
Little children loved him the best.
If there was anything unfilled
He'd fill in the rest.
Said you know that the laughin' hole
Ain't there for the kids and the bears.
He was a man after my own heart.
Yeah I loved him.
Didn't you love him, too?
Oh you know that I loved him.
He said he knew of a place to go
Then he went there.
The only clues he left for us
He left everywhere.
When he said goodbye why some people cried,
Like a fool I say he don't die,
He was a man after my own heart.
Yeah well he was the kind who'd paid no mind
If he was bumped into.
He was the kind that let you find out
All that he knew
When he said goodbye why some people cried
Like a fool I say he don't die
He was a man after my own heart
When he was bumped into.
He was the kind that let you find out
All that he knew.
He never got uptight, never started a fight,
Never threw so much as a dart.
He was a man after my own heart.
He loved people, people loved him,
Little children loved him the best.
If there was anything unfilled
He'd fill in the rest.
Said you know that the laughin' hole
Ain't there for the kids and the bears.
He was a man after my own heart.
Yeah I loved him.
Didn't you love him, too?
Oh you know that I loved him.
He said he knew of a place to go
Then he went there.
The only clues he left for us
He left everywhere.
When he said goodbye why some people cried,
Like a fool I say he don't die,
He was a man after my own heart.
Yeah well he was the kind who'd paid no mind
If he was bumped into.
He was the kind that let you find out
All that he knew
When he said goodbye why some people cried
Like a fool I say he don't die
He was a man after my own heart
