The Loner (Live Oklahoma City 1973) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a perfect stranger
Like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger
The keeper of the key to the locks

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner

[Verse 2]
There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago
She had something that he needed
And he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left
He died but it did not show

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago
She had something that he needed
And he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left
He died but it did not show

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
