Pass You By

Lyrics

I 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 someday
 But most of the time I like it this way
 Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye
 I'm just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
 Well I used to talk tough, I used to get loud
 Want to paint my name all over this town
 The folks lined up just to dog my day
 Now if I stay quiet, they stay out of my way
 Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye
 I'm just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
 I got a brand new plan, I'm gonna help myself
 'Cause it's a fat man's turn, I'm gonna share the wealth
 Put the money in the bag, keep your hands in sight
 Turn around, count to ten, and I go back into the night
 Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye
 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
 I got an old V-8 from the year I was born
 Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford
