about

This song makes me thankful for my real life dad and mom, who are pretty great.

lyrics

Daddy was a stranger, mama wasn’t smart
Falling for a man who’d tear everything apart
Mama’d find new love about every single year
And that stranger would come home crazy
And the love would disappear

They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die

And that stranger had power, so hard to explain
For one I guess I looked like him, and two I had his name
The stranger made me anxious, the stranger made me cry
And scared of every other stranger passing by

They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die

Mama found a new love, a Stranger in the sky
He’s bigger, he’s better, and he lifts her up on high
I guess the best kind of stranger is one you cannot see
Who talks to you in your head and tells you that you’re free

They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die
