Gillian Welch - Pass You By lyrics

I've got an old V-8

From the year I was born

Don't look like much

Just a flat black Ford

But the engine's clean

I could paint her some day

But most of the time

I think I like her this way

Don't turn no heads

Don't catch no eye

I'm just a wind on the road

Gonna pass you by

Well I used to talk tough

And I used to get loud

Want to paint my name

All over this town

But folks lined up

Just to dog my day

Now if I stay quiet

They stay out of my way

Don't turn no heads

Don't catch no eye

I'm just a wind on the road

Gonna pass you by

I got a brand new plan

Gonna help myself

'Cause it's the fat man's turn

Gonna share the wealth

Put the money in the bag

And keep your hands in sight

Turn around, count to ten

I'll go back into the night

Don't turn no heads

Don't catch no eye

I'm just a wind on the road

Gonna pass you by

Don't call for help

Don't scream, don't cry

Just a wind on the road

Gonna pass you by
