Lyrics

I used to make my
Living on the line back when
Detroit steel was
Americas pride, some
Foreign deal moved in
Job moved South
And that is how a family goes from
Middle class to hand to mouth
Oh and I feel like a stranger here
I've walked these streets a thousand times
(and) I think I know these buildings but I can't recall their names
And I feel like a stranger
Stranger in my life
The wife's just turned fifty
That makes me fifty-two
The state has some re-training thing
But what you gonna do
We have three daughters
Two are still in school
And Sally's getting married
Sally's getting married in the fall
And I feel like a stranger here
I've walked these streets a thousand times
I think I know these faces but I can't recall their names
And I feel like a stranger
....
Momma used to say
Trouble always came in threes
And if we take one more it might just
Bring us to our knees, and
Sometimes I think the wife and I should just
Sell it all in one big old yard sale and
Migrate ...
Just migrate with the geese
I try not to hate the new job
Home Depot's not that bad It's just the
Stupid teenage boss with the orange
Vest that I can't stand
And if Katie takes the neighbour kid in
Couple of days a week, well
I think we'll keep the bank away
At least for the summer
At least for the summer
Oh and I feel like a stranger here
I've walked these streets a thousand times
I think I know your face but I cannot recall your name
And I feel like a stranger
In my own life
