STRANGER ON THE RUN
From the TV film "Stranger On The Run" (1967)
(Kay Scott)

Bill Anderson (Film Soundtrack) - 1967




I can't forget the love she gave me
But that was long ago and long ago is done
Although I still recall her love, it cannot save me
For I am hunted and a stranger on the run

A man is born to live with danger
A man is born to fight his battles 'til they're won
But I'm the shadow of a man and I'm a stranger
Why am I hunted and a stranger on the run

The hills were green, the hills were green, my love
But that was yesterday
Though they are gone, there's still the dawn, my love
To bring them back one day

I must be strong, for they are stronger
I must stand before the challenge of a gun
I know I cannot run away, nor can I wander
I can no longer be a stranger on the run
I can no longer be a stranger on the run
