Pass You By (Alternate Version)

One, two, three

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 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, and 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 me by

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

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