Just call me “Passin”,
I’m passing through.
It really doesn’t matter...
Where I’m from or what I do.
Living from a suitcase
And always on the move...
That’s why they call me “Passin”
I’m “Passin’ Thru”.
I’ve fought a few bad horses
And rougher, wilder men.
I’ve always loved my freedom..
A brother to the wind.
I’ve roamed across the country-
And slept beneath the stars.
A loner and a drifter-
I’ve seen my share of bars.
I’ve buried all my family-
And friends I loved as true-
That’s why they call me “Passin’”
I’m “Passin Thru”.

Well-crafted poem Gunslinger. I like your style because it's very unique.

 Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn.

As always, a great read! *S* (But pull up a chair or hunker down on your boots and sit a spell. *S*)
