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