Lyrics
THESE STRANGER'S EYES
Started out younger at most everything.
Never letting the easy way come right to me.
Always thought that I had to fight
What I felt was the wrong from the right.
Left my home when I was just a boy
With nothing to prove for a kid that was spoiled
On love that stared him straight in the eyes.
Your love stared me straight in the eyes.
Down the road I would travel a stranger to myself
I would watch as the road
Became a hard place to be
And the stranger inside me got some strange ideas
And took my innocence away from me.
Got into town just looking around
But got into trouble as I do recall
With a man they call Too Big to Fall,
A man they call Too Big to Fall.
Had to prove I was big even though I was small
Took out my knife and cut him 'till he wasn't tall.
And when the blood stopped flowing
My stranger eyes noticed that cold cement floor
Had changed my life forever more
And that's when I realized, these stranger's eyes
Had no place left to hide,
And these stranger's eyes have no place to hide
These stranger's eyes have no place to hide.
Now I'm looking down at a cold cement floor.
I've been here for twenty years and maybe more.
And these bars that keep me away from you
Are just a reminder of what you made me do,
When you told me I was too young to fall in love
With a girl like you.
Then I had become
This stranger inside that you would fight for you
And these stranger's eyes wanted you,
But these killer's eyes can't have you
