He Wasn't Like Us Lyrics

We didn't know for sure, but everybody said

That ol' boy ain't right in the head, he's a little slow

We'd hide in the bushes not making a sound

When he'd walk by we'd push him down on that dirt road

I was just as guilty as my friends

We had a lot of laughs at his expense.

Chorus:

He wasn't like us, he wasn't kool.

He'd just smile even while we were being cruel.

He stood out, he didn't fit in,

But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn't let up on him.

He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss.

He wasn't like us.

Later on he made a name in our town

For hanging out and running around with the rough crowdJeff Bates - He Wasn't Like Us - http://motolyrics.com/jeff-bates/he-wasnt-like-us-lyrics.html

They were boozers and losers and low class broads

But he saw good in 'em nobody else saw & he brought it out

Then the rumors started flyin' that he was some kind of holy man

But we set him straight & told him to his face, he was a crazy man

Repeat Chorus

Well, I remember the day he got in trouble with the law

They cussed him & kicked him & mocked him & whipped him And they nailed him to the cross

Repeat Chorus

He wasn't like us, he didn't fit in

And I fell down on my knees & wept for him

He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss.

He never did nothing wrong, all he ever did was love.

He wasn't like us.

He wasn't like us.
