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 oh 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 oh 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 oh I'll spend a night or two I'd be a fool to ever pass on you
