"A Stranger in My Place" (co-written with Kin Vassy), on Something's Burning (1970)
“
I can see now
Where you might grow tired of dreams
That don't come true,
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you.
I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face,
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place.
— Kenny Rogers
