thanks to Gerry for the words please post corrections Rice/Rice Only Passing Through by Mac McAnnally Hillman/Pedersen Wooden porches on rundown houses Mildewed sofas and grown-up yards Driving past them I am reminded Of 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 (or curb) 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 passing through Like it's all we have to do And for all it means to me and you We are only passing through Worse 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 and tall white columns Iron gates to keep what's bad outside Driving past 'em I am reminded The price we pay just to enjoy the drive 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 INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 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 We are only passing through We are only passing through We are only passing through >From OUT OF THE WOODWORK by Rice, Rice, Hillman and Pedersen Rounder Records 1997 Beginner Music (ASCAP)
