about

One of my oldest, most "tried-and-true" songs. Wrote it years ago - it has stood the test of time.

lyrics

Oh habits of mind. Oh-oh, habits of mind.
Ain’t gonna take up all of my time.
Ain’t gonna eat up all of my food.
Oh habits of mind I think I’ll try something new:

I’m gonna shine my light on you.
Your days of ruling me are so through
I’m gonna shine my light on you
Oh, habits of mind. I’m so through with you.

Just yesterday I rolled outta my bed.
All this nasty shit just-a thumpin’ around my head
Oh, habits of mind. You’d leave me for dead.
Oh, habits of mind I think I’ll kick you out instead.

I’m gonna shine my light on you.
Your days of ruling me are so through
I’m gonna shine my light on you
Oh, habits of mind. I’m so through with you.
