D
I've got an old V - 8, from the year I was born
G F Em7
Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford
D
But the engine's clean, I could paint her some day
G F Em7
But most of the time, I think I like her this way
***Chorus:
G
Don't turn no heads, don't catch no eye
D Bb F Em7 D
I'm just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
***********
D
Well I used to talk tough, and I used to get loud
G F Em7
Want to paint my name, all over this town
D
But folks lined up, just to dog my day
G F Em7
Now if I stay quiet, they stay out of my way
***Chorus***
D
I got a brand new plan, gonna help myself
G F Em7
'Cause it's the fat man's turn, gonna share the wealth
D
Put the money in the bag, and keep your hands in sight
G F Em7
Turn around, count to ten, I'll go back into the night
***Chorus***
D
Don't call for help, don't scream, don't cry
D
Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by.
