Would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake to make
A bridge to burn to get to someone knew
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through

You sure look like the traveling kind to me
Don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
I don't know what you thought you're running to
Pass me by if you're only passing through

[ fiddle + steel ]

I'm not goin' to be your stepping stone
Among the other hearts that you've walked on
Lord help me if I fall in love with you
Pass me by if you're only passing through
Pass me by if you're only passing through
