[Verse 1] I was movin' like a mug With a face full of rain Fresh outta bad luck And a shirt with a stain Then you said, “Hey, stranger” Like it ain't a crime You split your last sandwich Like you had spare time You laughed at my mess Said, “Mijo, sit down” You slid me a chair In your tiny brown town I thought, this fool's got nerve This fool's got heart In a world full of teeth You were generous art [Pre-Chorus] You gave me change For the broken machine You said, “Keep the coins And keep your dignity” I nearly cried Then I smirked instead 'Cause kindness like that Gets a guy out his head [Chorus] Stranger, qué bonito You saved my ugly day Stranger, qué bonito You made the hunger pay (hey) Stranger, qué bonito With your crooked little grin You gave me a blessing In a paper-thin [Verse 2] You had a dented Chevy And a tie gone wild Talked like a priest With a nicotine smile You told me, “Life hits hard So hit back with soup” Then you handed me onions Like some outlaw troop I said, “Why me?” You said, “Don't act so shocked” Even saints wear cheap shoes And keep one eye locked We both busted up At my tragic goodbye You said, “Kid, you look better When you try” [Pre-Chorus] You gave me change For the broken machine You said, “Keep the coins And keep your dignity” I nearly cried Then I smirked instead 'Cause kindness like that Gets a guy out his head [Chorus] Stranger, qué bonito You saved my ugly day Stranger, qué bonito You made the hunger pay (hey) Stranger, qué bonito With your crooked little grin You gave me a blessing In a paper-thin [Bridge] If karma wears loafers You were walking in style With a wink and a sandwich And a merciless smile I came in all bruised up You sent me out fed Now I pray for your table And the saints in your head [Final Chorus] Stranger, qué bonito You saved my ugly day Stranger, qué bonito You made the hunger pay (hey) Stranger, qué bonito You gave me back my chin You gave me a blessing In a paper-thin Stranger, qué bonito Yeah, I still can't believe A stranger like you Could be kinder than me
