Passin’ Thru

Passin' Thru - Earl Scruggs/Don Henley/Johnny Cash

I have stood upon the mountain

I have seen the other side

I have wrestled with the devil

I have wrestled with my pride

I have been down in the valley

I have stood out in the rain

I have seen my love forsaken

Felt the pleasure and the pain

There's one thing that's for certain

That one chord that rings true

It's well a mighty world we live in

But the truth is we're only passin' thru

I have cried in tears of sadness

Cried in tears of joy

I have found a life worth livin'

From the peace within the noise

I have turned my back on hatred

Lyin' prejudice and greed

Found the future in the present

Found hope within a seed

That's one thing that's for certain

That's one chord that rings true

It's a mighty world we live in

But the truth is we're only passin' thru

Passin' thru passin' thru

It's a mighty world

We live in but the truth is

We're only passin' thru

I have seen my bucket empty

Seen my well run dry

But there's water down the road

And I'm only goin' by

If I'm settin' on dead-ready

When my chances come to knock

I'll make it where I'm goin'

I'll be tall just like a rock

But there's one thing that's for certain

That's one chord that rings true

It's a wicked world we live in

But the truth is we're only passin' thru

Passin' thru passin' thru

It's a mighty world

We live in but the truth is

We're only passin' thru

Yeah it's a mighty world

We live in but the truth is

We're only passin' thru
