Wanna Be a Stranger - Justin Townes Earle

Don’t wanna walk away but

I’m tired of acting in anger

Too tired to even try

I just wanna be a stranger

Asked my baby did she love me

She said, «Ask me later»

Didn’t even say goodbye now

I just wanna be a stranger

When I was young I’d drink

My whiskey straight, no chaser

That didn’t drown the pain

I just wanna be a stranger

I need a place to hide

Until I do I’m in danger

Maybe in another time

I could’ve been a stranger

Now I’ve been running all my life

I could’ve been a master of disguise

Looking for another geographic change

Standing at the station waiting for the rain

No my heart didn’t break

It tore in two like paper

Not even shadows can hide

In the eyes of a stranger

In the eyes of a stranger
