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!
