1, 2   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
