Just passin' thru

She asked me how long I'd be stayin' in town,
And did I have plans this time for stickin' around
She said it'd be so nice if I
Could spend a week or two
But was I gonna stay
Or was I just passin' thru

Well I'm just passin' thru this time
I won't be stayin' here long
Just like an outlaw in a Willie Nelson song
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Say goodbye to you
Sorry I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru

It's hard to figure out just why
I can't keep still
But somethin's always callin' me
From over the hill
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Adios to you
Sorry I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru

Yes I'm just passin' thru this time
I won't be stayin' here long
Just like an outlaw in a Willie Nelson song
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Bye-bye to you
Honey I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru

Well, it's hard to figure out just why
That I've got to be free
Stayin' in just one place
Don't appeal to me
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Bye-bye to you
Sorry I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru

Well I'm just passin' thru this time
I won't be stayin' here long
Just like an outlaw in a Willie Nelson song
I'd like to stick around awhile
And have some fun with you
Sorry I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru
Honey, I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru
Yep!
