Pass You By - Gillian Welch

I got an old V-8 from the year I was born

Don’t look like much, just a flat black Ford

The engine’s clean, I could paint it someday

But most of the time I like it this way

Don’t turn no head, don’t catch no eye

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

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 town, 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 come over here, 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
