Stranger Road

Take the road to Tonganoxie, just before sun catcher lake

Go past the cemetery oh child please don’t make me wait

Cause there’s something wrong with what I’ve done

I haven’t got much time

I can’t stay in Kansas I’ve gotta cross the line

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

Except down the stranger road

I walked straight out the back door I covered up my tracks

My poppa thinks it’s criminal so I ain’t coming back

Cause there’s something wrong with what I’ve done

I haven’t got much time

And what I want and what I need

Is all I have in mind

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

Except down the stranger road

Come on come on come on come on

The blood runs hot but the eyes are cold

Driving down the stranger road

Ohhhh The blood runs hot oh but the eyes are cold

Driving down to hell stranger road

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

Except down the stranger road

Except down to stranger road

Come on come on come on come on

Come on come on come on come on

Come on come on come on come on
