Murder Jim Quimby - The Past Won't Take Up Too Much Of My Time

I knew a thousand different words for sad by the time I was fifteen
Prone to psychedelic drugs with a penchant to daydream
I lost my dad before I reached twenty
Then I left my hometown the fun was the running

Decided to sleep on the beach for awhile
Play music all day like Artemis Pyle
But blackouts got old so I had to keep moving
Leave more behind whatever that's proving

I take the time to remind myself
Of the long line that I left behind
I've resigned never to dwell
The past won't take up too much of my time
The past won't take up too much of my time

I met myself a young girl and I settled down
But I found I spent too much time just fucking around
So I let the space grow between us and I cast away
Laid up feeling lowdown a way I couldn't stay
Almost gave it all up and left myself behind
But me and the darkness had a breakup now I'm doing fine

I take the time to remind myself
Of the long line that I left behind
I've resigned never to dwell
The past won't take up too much of my time
The past won't take up too much of my time

Now I'm getting older but found love again
Wake up holding closely my one and own best friend
And I know she'll be there when it's getting rough
Make me glad that I held on and never given up

I take the time to remind myself
Of the long lines that I left behind
I've resigned never to dwell
The past don't take up too much of my time
The past don't make up too much of my time
Leave all you mother fuckers behind
