Take my chances, rather go to jail  Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well  He don't care, he couldn't give a damn  Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man  He waits in the shadows 'til the man is gone  He moves to the door, now she's all alone  Far as you could see, that's her only way  She fears for her life and what her family would say    (Chorus)  Back door stranger  A fair warning he's out tonight  A back door stranger  We gotta stop him if the chance is right    You read in the paper, most any day  'Bout back door stranger and his evil ways  The law can't judge because he pleads insane  It's a sign of the times that we got to change  You ask my opinion, he ain't half a man  He's as cold as a snake about to strike again  It's a slap in the face that we tolerate  The pain that he causes worries us grey    (Chorus)    Take my chances, rather go to jail  Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well  He don't care, he couldn't give a damn  Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man  You ask my opinion, got to make a stand  He's cold as a snake, gonna strike again  It's a slap in the face that we tolerate  The pain that he causes, it worries us grey    (Chorus Twice)    these lyrics are submitted by rebhal
