[Verse 1]
1, 2
Got up this morning, headed down the road
I saw this pilgrim with a heavy load
Were my eyes lying at what I'd seen?
Hello, stranger. Remember me?
Hang your coat on that nail
Kick your shoes off let them sail
I set my suitcase down in the den
Welcome stranger, come on in
[Chorus]
Come on in, come on in
It's so good to see you again
It don't matter where you been
Welcome stranger, come on in
[Verse 2]
I'll make the coffee, I'll get the cream
We'll open up a bottle of old Jim Beam
We'll hoot and holler to your favorite song
Welcome stranger, welcome home
I sure did miss you there's no doubt
The days got longer after you checked out
But the pain got stronger when it kicked in
Welcome stranger, come on in
[Chorus]
[Outro]
It don't matter where you been
Welcome stranger, come on in
Welcome stranger, come on in
