Well, 33 stairs I climb each night
Just to escape those old warehouse lights
Where the man with the tattoo and the thick, gold chain
Stands over my shoulder calling me dirty names
Well, don’t he know those days are over?
One of these days I’m gonna boil right over

And put him on his ass just like I should
And put him on his ass just like I should
And put him on his ass just like I should
Cuz that motherfucker, he ain’t no good

Then I head down to “Daddy Gregory’s”
Where the whiskey stings and all the women please
From their pretty little necks to their worn down knees
They sure no how to handle the likes of me
Yeah, I got a scar for every hussie I’ve let
Into my life and into my bed

But, I can thank my lucky stars they were just like me
But, I can thank my lucky stars they were just like me
But, I can thank my lucky stars they were just like me
Broke-down, burned-out and too blind to see

Yeah, I was always a stranger in this town
Yeah, I was always a stranger in this town
There ain’t no use in me stickin’ ‘round
Cuz I was always a stranger in this town

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be in Old Savannah
Strollin’ down the street with my best girl, Johanna
And tearin’ up the jukes ‘til the mornin’ light
We were the talk of thetown-we were outta sight
We were the talk of thetown-we were outta sight
We were the talk of thetown-we were outta sight
But things slip away when you don’t hold on tight

Now 33 stairs don’t seem that far
I can almost see the light from “Daddy’s” bar
Guess there ain’t no use in me stickin’ ‘round
Ain’t no one gonna miss an old booze hound
I wonder if I fell, would I even make a sound?
I wonder if I fell, would I even make a sound?
I wonder if I fell, would I even make a sound?

And, would they finally give me my own patch of ground?
Yeah, I was always a stranger in this town
Yeah, I was always a stranger in this town
There ain’t no use in me stickin’ ‘round
Cuz I was always a stranger in this town
