Merle Haggard — Stranger In the City

[Verse] I can't be with you this evening I can't be with you tonight Somehow you must have read me wrong And I need you to read me right I'm a stranger in the city A gypsy passing through My heart's at home with someone else I'd be killing time with you I'm a stranger in the city And you tried to lead me wrong I'm in town to do a show tonight Just here to sing my song We can never get together That leaves nothing left to do I'm a stranger in the city And not the man for you Now I'm not ashamed to feel this way 'Cause I'm a man who has a lot The kind of love that I have at home, baby Can't be sold or lost You've got all it takes to ruin my life I resent the things you do I'm a stranger in the city Not the man for you I'm a stranger in the city Not the man for you
