Randy Travis's song reflects on life as a temporary journey, with the singer seeing himself as a traveler heading toward a heavenly home. He acknowledges the kindness of a stranger who offers help, and he expresses gratitude, recognizing that the stranger likely has Jesus in his life. The lyrics emphasize that earthly possessions and appearances don't matter, since the body is just a temporary dwelling until reaching the eternal streets of gold. The song conveys a calm assurance of God's care and the hope of heaven.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I can see it in your eyes
I can tell you think that I'm
Just some troubled soul who's lost
Out all alone
But I know each step I take
Brings me closer to the day
I'll be walking on them shining
Streets of gold
Cause I'm just passing through
Wearing worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home
Mister I don't know your name
But I thank you for your change
God bless you son
You must have jesus in your life
A little help along the way
Never hurts too much these days
Even though I know in his hand
I'll be all right
Cause I'm just passing through
WEaring worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home
