Me and my baby been on the run
So very long
Her folks sent a man to get us
They say weve done wrong
So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in town

Stranger in town, he's out to get me
Stranger in town, wants me and my baby
He follows me
From town to town
And if he gets me
Hell bring me down
So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in town
Woo-oo-oo woo-oo-oo

I'm not afraid of what they'll do to me
I'm just afraid they'll hurt my baby
We don't care if we run forever
Just as long as were together

Stranger in town, I think weve lost him
Stranger in town, can't let him bring us in
Another town
One more mile
And well be free
For a while
And well run, yeah well run, yeah well run
From the stranger in town
Woo-oo-oo woo-oo-oo

Stranger in town
