lyrics

A strangers face
was the first thing that I saw
when I woke this morning

Grey hotel,
bad feeling in my heart
said you'd best take warning

CH
Running down the stairs
Slamming out the door
I got a twenty in my pocket
I don't need you any more
I've been on the streets
Since I was just 15
And you know what I mean

Mama she cries
every time that I call home
so I talk sweet and low

I tell her lies
about the things I do
so she won't have to know

CH
BR
Some boys tell me I'm still pretty
Young ones seem so lost and lonely
Then they tell me find the lord
That don't work for me no more

CH

A strangers face
was the first thing that I saw
when I woke this morning
