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 pa**in' thru
Well I'm just pa**in' 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 pa**in' 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 pa**in' thru
Yes I'm just pa**in' 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 pa**in' 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 pa**in' thru
Well I'm just pa**in' 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 pa**in' thru
Honey, I can't stay
You know I'm just pa**in' thru
Yep!
