Ain't That Strange Lyrics

He said hey my name is Jeb and I'm a Vietnam vet
He had a lisp when he talked
He said back in the day well I was shot here in the leg
And that's why I hobble when I walk

And my mama died when I was only five
And I was raied by next of kin
And my uncle was a crazy alcoholic lunatic
And I was raised to be just like him

Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
How a stranger told me his story that day
Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
I never asked him to tell me but he told me just the same
Ain't that strange

Well I sat down introduced myself and offered to buy a round
He said son another swallow and I'd probably drown
Hey Mister why'd tell me your life story today
He said son when people listen it takes the pain away

Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
How a stranger told me his story that day
Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
I never asked him to tell me but he told me just the same
Ain't that strange

It's ten years later and I still think of him
It's a day I'll never forget
So today I walked back into that bar
To see if he was still sittin' there
But the bartender told me that he had died
That a man just walked up and took his life
Why would anybody go and mess with ol' Jeb
He said the stranger must have had a story worse than his

Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
How a stranger told me his story that day
Ain't that crazy, ain't that strange
I never asked him to tell me but he told me just the same
Ain't that strange
