He Wasn't Like Us by Jeff Bates 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 crowd 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.
