Got up this morning, headed down the road
I saw this pilgrim with a heavy load
Were my eyes lyin' at what I'd seen?
Hello, stranger. Remember me?

Hang your coat on that nail
kick your shoes off let 'em sail
I set my suitcase down in the den
Welcome stranger, come on in

Come on in, come on in
It's so good to see you again
It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in

I'll make the coffee, I'll get the cream
We'll open up a bottle of old Jim Beam
We'll hoot and holler to your favorite song
Welcome stranger, welcome home

I sure did miss you there's no doubt
The days got longer after you checked out
But the pain got stronger when it kicked in
Welcome stranger, come on in

Come on in, come on in
It's so good to see you again
It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in

It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in
welcome stranger, come on in
