Stranger In This Town lyrics

(sambora, morolda)

Growing up today
There’s many mountains you must climb
You’re not the only one
’cause everybody’s on that line
Hey mister know it all
What do you recommend
You think you know the answers
But the questions never end

Young hearts better hold on
Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
So look in your mirror
You got nothing to lose

(sambora)

Woke up in a cold sweat
In the middle of the night
Seems like a lifetime
When you’re wondering who’s wrong or right
One confession would resurrect the truth
Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you

Now we dance with the devil down lonely
Street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears

(sambora, child)

Father time
I couldn’t make her wanna stay
I couldn’t seem to find the words to say
Now I have to live in yesterday
Father time

I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied

The clock keeps tickin’ and I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you

(sambora)

He was a man
A ramblin’ man he was yes he was
Guitar in hand
His home was on the road and that’s where he was

He’s seen a thousand roads
He’s been a million miles
And when he’d bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin’
Mr. bluesman
Mr. bluesman

Town to town
Honkytonks and dives all look the same

(sambora, foster, morolda)

All alone in the dark
No walls no windows
Trying hard to define
Heaven from hell
Standing out in the rain
With just one shadow
Nothing to see or believe
Beyond myself
See my life going by
Each moment I am alive
I keep reaching out, holding on, hoping

Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
I feel it like my heart beating inside
Somewhere in my life

(sambora, bryan)

Voodoo woman
I’ll see you in my dreams
Gipsy woman
Down on lonely street
Gipsy was a friend of mine
In a sacred dream
Voodoo woman magic child
In time you will believe

Every time we say goodbye
Our love will rest in peace
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace

So say a prayer and close your eyes
Come lay your body down to sleep

(sambora)

Let me tell you a story
About body and blood
There’s a fire below
Deep in the river of love
Hey pretty mama I’m just trying to be polite
I wanna make you feel the rhythm of the river tonight
And when the story is over
You’ll be satisfied

Honey, honey, honey don’t you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man

(sambora, j bon jovi, child, warren)

Rosie watch doin’ in this low class joint
Dancin’ in the dark all day
You used to be the darlin’
Of your high school scene
Now you put your love on display
Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walkin’ down the hall
Rosie do you see me
When you hear them call your name

(sambora, bryan)

Hey mister can you tell me
What this world’s about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn

Sometimes it’s hard to find a friendly face
Feel like a stranger to the human race
It’s such a lonely, lonely place

I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home

(sambora, foster)

The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud

Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens

There’s a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
