David Rawlings
Pass You By (Alternate Version)
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't turn no head
Don't catch no eye
Just a wind on the road
Gonna pass you by

[Verse 2]
Well I used to talk tough, I used to get loud
Wanna 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

[Chorus]
Don't turn no head
Don't catch no eye
Just a wind on the road
Gonna pass you by

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Don't turn no head
Don't catch no eye
Just a wind on the road
Gonna pass you by

[Bridge]
Don't come over here
Don't scream, don't cry
Just a wind on the road
Gonna pass you by

[Outro]
I got an old V-8 from the year I was born
Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford
