Passing Through

I’ve seen the desert and I’ve seen the plains
I’ve seen the sun set on the hills of Spain
I’ve seen skies of impossible blue
Oh, but I couldn’t stay, I was only passing through
I’ve seen the beauties and I’ve seen the freaks
I’ve seen the billboards off I-19
Selling Jesus and Diet Mountain Dew
Oh, but I couldn’t stay, I was only passing through
Passing through, passing through
Well it’s all that I ever learned to do
Oh if it’s alright, ah ooh I’ll spend a night or two
I’d be a fool to ever pass on you
I’ve seen the living and I’ve seen the dead
I’ve seen the vultures overhead
I’ve seen the inside of my mama’s womb
Oh, but I couldn’t stay, I was only passing through
I’ve seen the heavens and I’ve seen the stars
I’ve seen closing time at the bar
When even the mirror won’t smile back at you
Oh, but I couldn’t stay, I was only passing through
Passing through, passing through
Well it’s all that I ever learned to do
Oh if it’s alright, ah ooh I’ll spend a night or two
I’d be a fool to ever pass on you
I’ve seen the future and I’ve seen the past
I’ve seen happiness slip through my grasp
Oh, for reasons I never quite knew
No I couldn’t stay, I was only passing through
Passing through, passing through
Well it’s all that I ever learned to do
Oh if it’s alright, ah ooh I’ll spend a night or two
I’d be a fool to ever pass on you
