Strangers

In a town not far I heard a man
Lost his bet to the law
So he went to find the wilder side
Of colonies abroad
He kicked the dust and bit the bullet
Ridin' bare back Indian style
He tipped his hat and didn't look back
He'll be gone for a while
Yeah, he'll be gone
Well he came to California
With a mighty smug look on his face
(?) The very first bar in a bum squat town
With all walks of the human race
The sluts lines up and so did their tits
With a bottle he took in the sigh
He wanted to stay but before he could say
He was out like a light
Yeah he was out
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
(Mm, mm mm mm)
In an abstract way
We can all relate
At least I can at any rate
When he can to his gun was gone
His shirt was in a twist
Dog tired and hungry with no money
The blood boiled in his fist
He saw a whore and asked her
How he'd come to have such luck
And she said- you don't look at those
Hard working women that way
When you don't got a buck
She took the gun 'cause
You drank the whiskey
I'm sorry miss I tell ya
But old bastards like me
Are so hung up on livin' life
We don't entertain on courtesies
So go ahead and shoot me
I ain't got no where to go
I'll have myself a whiskey
With the devil down below
With the devil down below
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
(Mm, mm mm mm mm)
In an abstract way
We can all relate
At least I can at any rate
As it turned out the hooker
Felt right sorry for his soul
She spared his life and said
She to felt life was mighty cold
Well if I strike it rich he cried
Then you shall have a dress
And if a woman like you
Could ever love me then
I'll have happiness
Yeah I'll have happiness
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
Ain't it funny how strangers
Find home in the strangest places
In an abstract way
We can all relate
At least I can at any rate
