I was broken and broken down
In a little Tennessee town
Too hard a beginning
So I'm beginning at the end
When I saw her she saw me
I'll admit it, I wasn't much to see
Ain't it a wonder she's a stranger
When she's a friend
[Chorus:]
Ain't it a wonder I ever found her
Ain't it so strange
How any friend would just take you in
Over and over and over again
Then she left
Lyin' there, I had nothing left to share
Ain't it a wonder she's a stranger
When she's a friend
[Chorus]
If you're ever feeling down
In a little Tennessee town
It ain't a wonder
She'll be that stranger
She'll be that friend
Ain't it a wonder she's a stranger
When she's a friend
