Verse
Johnny passed right through her town
On his way to fame
He kissed her by the old Saw Mill
And they never kissed again
He never said he loved her
He never told her lies
Johnny was just passing through
She was left behind
Chorus
Johnny... was passing through
And she thinks she hears her name in some of his old tunes
Some you win... and some you lose
Some get left behind and some are passing through
Verse
She's seen him play that Martin
In stadiums and halls
But once he played it just for her
Behind those Saw Mill walls
She still hums the tune
And still knows all the words
Not the ones he sang for us
The ones he sang for her
Chorus
Johnny... was passing through
And she thinks she hears her name in some of his old tunes
Some you win... and some you lose
Some get left behind and some are passing through
Bridge
That was back in sixty three, now the sawmill's up for sale
And kids' today don't know his name and she wont tell the tale
Verse
She's watching his obituary
On the tv screens
Folks are playing Johnny's songs
And buying his cds
She can't help but cry tonight
Cause years pass by so soon
I guess if he could speak, he'd say
Hey baby...
We're all just passing through
Chorus
We are all just passing through
And she thinks she hears her name in some of his old tunes
Some you win... and some you lose
Some get left behind and some are passing through
Some get left behind and some are passing through
Yes, some get left behind and some are passing through
