Pass You By Songtext
von Gillian Welch

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
