Twenty years goes by fast I know they say you can't live in the past Well I came back here to find what's left of me So I walked the halls of our old high school Sat alone in the church where I met you Drove by the bank where your house used to be Well I'm a stranger in my own hometown Nothing much of me left here now I can't find a trace of me and you No one here even knows my name Even the memories don't seem the same I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown Went to the diner where we said goodbye Just to see if it would make me cry But I just drank my coffee feeling empty Well I blew past that city limit sign
Population that left me behind Wishing there was someone there who missed me Wished they missed me Well I'm a stranger in my own hometown Nothing much of me left there now I can't find a trace of me and you No one there even knows my name Even the memories don't seem the same I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown No one there even knows my name Even the memories don't seem the same I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown Yeah, I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown That used to be where I belonged Guess time and you and I moved on
