[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D I 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 it someday G F Em7 But most of the time I like it this way
[Chorus]
G Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye D Bb F Em7 D Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
[Verse 2]
D Well I used to talk tough, 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]
G Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye D Bb F Em7 D Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
[Instrumental]
G D G Bb F Em7 D
[Verse 3]
D I got a brand new plan, I'm gonna help myself G F Em7 'Cause it's a fat man's town, I'm gonna share the wealth D Put the money in the bag, keep your hands in sight G F Em7 Turn around, count to ten, and I go back into the night
[Chorus]
G Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye D Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by G Don't call for help, don’t scream don’t cry Bb F Em7 D Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
[Outro]
D I got an old V-8 from the year I was born G F Em7 D Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford
