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

It's all that I ever learned to do

If it’s alright ooo, I’ll stay 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

It's all that I ever learned to do

If it’s alright ooo, I’ll stay 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

It's all that I ever learned to do

If it’s alright ooo, I’ll stay a night or two

I’d be a fool to ever pass on you
