Passenger On Board
Music & Lyrics by James A. Goins

 

Verse 1:

Red lights in the rearview

City bleeding gold

Driver grips the wheel tight

Passenger’s heart cold

Smoke in the backseat

Truth in disguise

Every mile a memory

Every word a lie

 

Pre-Chorus:

You say it’s just business

You say it’s just the game

But somebody’s steering

And somebody’s taking aim

​

Chorus:

There’s a passenger on board tonight

And he’s riding shotgun with sin

Got a loaded past and a restless soul

And a war he’ll never win

 

You can drive through hell and back

But you can’t outrun the Lord

Every mile reveals the truth

With a passenger on board

 

Verse 2:

Bright lights on the red carpet

Flashes hide the shame

Smiling for the cameras

But the soul don’t play that game

​

You can sell the story

You can sell the dream

But you can’t sell innocence

Once you cross that line unseen

​

Pre-Chorus 2:

You say it was timing

You say it was fate

But truth don’t disappear

Just because you got paid

 

Chorus:

There’s a passenger on board tonight

And he’s riding shotgun with sin

Got a loaded past and a restless soul

And a war he’ll never win

 

You can drive through hell and back

But you can’t outrun the Lord

Every mile reveals the truth

With a passenger on board

 

Bridge:

You can drown it in applause

You can bury it in fame

You can silence every witness

You can justify the shame

But the mirror never lies

And your mind keeps it stored

You’re never really alone

With a passenger....

 

Chorus:

There’s a passenger on board tonight

And he’s riding shotgun with sin

Got a loaded past and a restless soul

And a war he’ll never win

 

You can drive through hell and back

But you can’t outrun the Lord

Every mile reveals the truth

With a passenger on board

​

With a passenger on board

With a passenger on board

With a passenger on board
