Written & Recorded by Adam Wazonek

lyrics

Buddy lost his job in the badlands
He’s a good man, fallen on hard times
Back to the coast on a jet plane
Booze and cocaine, worn out lifelines

Every single night when the bars close down
He wanders through the same old town
To your empty hands, what’s she gonna say?
You left her, now you’ve changed your ways
The stranger in town and the ones he let down again

What about your son and your daughter?
They need a father, and you know it
Some guys can’t handle the income
When they get some, they just blow it

Do you remember the things they said
About the devil rearing his ugly head?
When I saw your face I just can’t pretend
You’re only a shell of my old friend
The stranger in town and the ones he let down again

Back rooms and alleyways
They changed the lock on where you stayed
Can they save a soul so far gone?
You’re not the same as when you left
Sunken eyes and close to death
Won’t you pack up what’s left and get back home again?

Every single night when the bars close down
He wanders through the same old town
To your empty hands, what’s she gonna say?
You left her, now you’ve changed your ways
The stranger in town and the ones he let down
The stranger in town and the ones he let down again
