Gillian Welch Lyrics
"Pass You By"

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

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

Don't call for help
Don't scream, don't cry
Just a wind on the road
Gonna pass you by
