Nothing More Than the Past

Story Behind The Song

The song started with the refrain, nothing more than the past -- that was catchy and I wrote the song around that phrase which I liked so much.

Song Description

This is a song with an important instrumental part! The words show how the narrator has been wronged and the music marches along in an old fashioned country manner. The narrator responds using 21st century vernacular -- keep your dick in your pants!

Lyrics

Just between you and me
No need to look so downcast
Our love was at best half assed
So I will be leaving you in what will soon be the past
Nothing more than the past, nothing more than the past

I played it cool, a steadfast fool
While you were out there having a blast
So what can you do to fix this at last
Invent a time machine, go back and keep your dick in your pants
I mean if you have to ask, if you have to ask

Why the surprised look in your eyes
Our fates have long been cast
Mine says the world is waiting and vast
So I will be leaving you in what will soon be the past
Nothing more than the past, nothing more than the past
