Intro

 Got up this morning, headed down the road

 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'll set my suitcase down in the den

Welcome stranger, come on in

Chorus

 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

(SOLO)

I'll make the coffee, I'll get the cream

Open up a bottle of ol' 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

The pain got stronger when it kicked in

Welcome stranger, come on in

(CHORUS)

(SOLO)

 It don't matter where you been

 Welcome stranger, come on in

 Welcome stranger, come on in
