We didn’t know for sure, but everybody said  That ol’ boy ain’t right in the head, he’s a little slow  We’d hide in the bushes not making a sound  When he’d walk by we’d push him down on that dirt road  I was just as guilty as my friends  We had a lot of laughs at his expense.    Chorus:  He wasn’t like us, he wasn’t kool.   He’d just smile even while we were being cruel.  He stood out, he didn’t fit in,   But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn’t let up on him.   He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss.   He wasn’t like us.     Later on he made a name in our town  For hanging out and running around with the rough crowd  They were boozers and losers and low class broads  But he saw good in ‘em nobody else saw & he brought it out    Then the rumors started flyin’ that he was some kind of holy man  But we set him straight & told him to his face, he was a crazy man    Repeat Chorus    Well, I remember the day he got in trouble with the law  They cussed him & kicked him & mocked him & whipped him And they nailed him to the cross    Repeat Chorus    He wasn’t like us, he didn’t fit in  And I fell down on my knees & wept for him  He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss.   He never did nothing wrong, all he ever did was love.  He wasn’t like us.
