Just Passin' Through

Well, one of these days I'm sure to wake up dead

No one gets out alive, I've heard it said

I'll reach to the sky and find a hole in the middle

Or look straight down and see Hell's hot griddle

Leapin' the moon with a hey, diddle, diddle

Chorus

Just passin' through

Just passin' through

And there ain't a damned thing about it you can do

It's a sweet, short ride through a beautiful place

If ya can't dig it, it's a real disgrace

It's a miracle and it's commonplace, and hey

It's gonna happen anyway

Precious Dear, take a good close look at me

You never know if it's the last time you will see

This transitory piece of celestial matter

This little ol' morsel of God's sweet batter

I once was former. I'll soon be latter

[chorus]

Well, it seems to me that a bad rap's laid on death

As though you're weak to breath your own last breath

Well, it ain't as if I don't really love livin'

Not a little bit sick of the taking and the giving

But when I go, it'll all be forgiven

[chorus]
