"Only Passing Through" lyrics - RICE, RICE, HILLMAN & PEDERSEN

Wooden porches, rundown houses
Mildewed sofas and grown-up yards
Drivin' past them, I am reminded
0f where we come from and where we are

We are only passing through
Like it's all we have to do
And for all it means to me and you
We are only passing through

Up on Wall Street they shape the curve
By what we have and what we deserve
And I don't buy it and they don't care
I can't say which of us is most aware

We are only...

Worst case scenario
The world just keeps on turning
Best case scenario
Pretty much the same
And all that seems to matter
Is the scramble for the credit
And the blame

Big old houses, tall white columns
Iron gates to keep what's bad outside
Drivin' past them I am reminded
The price we pay just to enjoy the ride

We are only...
