Just Passing Through
Jason Aldean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can hear that rooster crowing down the road,
I felt my eyes open up real slow
And I looked around making sure I hadn't checked out.

'Cause there was an angel lying next to me
And I figured heaven's where I must be
Oh but it was you and baby what else could I do.
In that bed I said a little prayer
For one more day I'm still here.

It's your world and I'm just in it,
Ain't no other way to spin it.
Lucky me, just being there when I get to hold you.
Yeah, I'm just here to love you girl,
It's your world, and I'm just passing through.

I dig in my heels and try to slow this down,
I want my life to revolve around everything you do,
Aw but that's all up to you.

Everything good seems to go so fast
It's kinda like one big party crash,
You weren't counting on one day you're here and gone,
Baby all I wanna do is lay here and hope it all don't disappear.

It's your world and I'm just in it,
Ain't no other way to spin it.
Lucky me, just being there when I get to hold you.
Yeah, I'm just here to love you girl,
It's your world, and I'm just passing through.

It's your world and I'm just in it,
Ain't no other way to spin it.
Lucky me, just being there when I get to hold you.




Yeah, I'm just here to love you girl,
It's your world, and I'm just passing through.

I'm just here to love you girl,
It's your world and I'm just passing through.

Aldean then shifts his focus to the woman lying beside him, expressing his devotion to her and acknowledging that he is just a visitor in her world.
