Lyrics
Chorus
He said he's just passing through,
But he'll play you a song or two.
If you wait, I know you'll find........
He's the leaving kind.
Verse 1
He showed up sometime in last month,
Said he was building fence outside of town.
He's got music on his mind,
And I watched your heart melt down.
It's not like he robbed a bank,
But he stole the fire in your eyes.
Guys like him come and go,
To girls like you its always a surprise.
Chorus
You think his song is all but done,
it's just starting over again.
It's not love, but a need to be loved
That drives you to your end.
Chorus
Bridge:
He was driving down the highway at night
Till he found that note folded up tight
With tears in his eyes he turned the truck around,
Headed back to her side of town.
They say they are just passing through,
THey'll sing you a song or two.
If you wait I know you'll find.
They're the leaving kind..
