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 cool,
|
He'd just smile all the while
|
We were being cruel
|
He stood out, he didn't fit in
|
We just kept throwin the stones
|
No,we didnt 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 runnin around with the rough crowd
|
They were boozers & loosers & low class broods
|
But he saw good in them that no one else saw
|
Then the rumors started flyin that he was some kind of Holy Man
|
But we set them straight & told him to his face he was a crazy man
|
Chorus
|
|
But I remember the day he got introuble with the law
|
They cussed Him & kicked Him & mocked Him & whipped Him
|
Then they nailed Him to the cross
|
|
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
|
