[Verse 1]
I feel like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
I feel like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
Oh, my so-called friends stopped being friendly, well, but you can't keep a good man down
No, you can't get him down

[Chorus]
I came home with good intentions about five or six years ago
I came home with good intentions, yeah, man, about five or six years ago
But my home town won't accept me, just don't feel welcome here no more, oh, Lord, Lord

[Instrumental Break]
Whoa!
Yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
I said I came home with good intentions about five or six years ago
I said I came home, good intentions about five or six, five or six, years ago
Ah, but my home town won't accept me, bu-blu-blu-blub, I just don't feel welcome here no more, no more, no more

I'm going back down to Memphis
I'm going to start driving that truck again, whooo
I said I'm going back down home down to Memphis
I'm going to start driving that damn truck again, whooo
Yeah, old Joe, Charlie, and Richard are going to starve to death
Yeah, sign me up in the pen, whoooee
[Chorus]
I came home with good intentions about five or six, five or six, years ago, whoa
Yeah, I came home with good intentions, baby, about five or six years ago
I forget what you did, I don't recall
My home town won't accept me, just don't feel welcome here no more, no more, no more
Yeah
