Story Behind The Song
Who hasn't been forgotten about or left "high and dry" by someone you thought was a friend. I wanted to capture the feeling of the disappointment.
Song Description
It happens, someone was supposed to pick you up, or meet you somewhere and they did not show up. Then there are those people who are "repeat offenders" and finally we realize it's time to cut them off. It could be a lover, a friend or even a family member that left us stranded.

Lyrics
STRANDED
©2013 jeff rauschl
I Can't believe you left me stranded again
makes me wonder why I even call you a friend
and I'm stranded down here on this avenue
should have know much better than to count on you
but I'm stranded
oh stranded
well I'm stranded oh
Called your cell phone
I heard that voice mail sound
called your mama's house
she said that you're not around
can't understand it
I thought that you were a friend
but I'll be damned if
I ever trust you again
but now I'm stranded underneath this Woolworth s sign
and I'm feeling just as empty as that old five and dime
and I'm stranded without a cigarette
I feel abandoned just like an unloved pet
and I'm stranded
oh stranded oh
(Instrumental)
Remember all those times when I picked you up
called in sick for you when you were drunk off your butt
I should have realized when I was your alibi
soon enough I'd pay for one of your lies
and be stranded, oh stranded
Can't believe you left me stranded again
makes me wonder why I even call you a friend
and I'm stranded down here on this avenue
I should have know much better than to count on you
'cause I'm stranded oh
I feel abandoned oh
and I'm stranded
