He grabbed me by the shirt while I was paying for my beer
And screamed, "There you are, Balthazar! I knew I'd find you here!"
He hit me in the teeth and then he spit into my face
Took the keys to my Mercedes as he quickly left the place
Well, if I were in his shoes, maybe I woulda done the same
But I don't know who he was and Balthazar is not my name
And it's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
I should be minding my own
And once the show was over, I met a fan at my hotel
He asked if I've met Father John and if I knew him well
He said, "Is it true he doesn't eat but lives off staring at the sun
Or that he keeps a monkey for a pet and taught him how to tune his drums?
I also heard the only drugs he'll take are what he'll synthesize himself
Sir, I wanna be a writer and I think that this'll help"
And I said it's none of my business
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
I should be minding my own
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
I should be minding my own
And on the fateful day when I get buried in the ground
I bet that I could tell you which friends make it into town
They'll tell you all my dirty secrets and my brother's gonna sing
Just make sure my suit is pressed and that they let me keep my ring
I'm not getting into Heaven and I don't believe in Hell
I just wanna know my friends and family are remembering me well
But it won't be none of my business
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
I should be minding my own
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
It's really none of my business
I should be minding my own
I should be minding my own
I should be minding my own
None of My Business was written by Taylor Goldsmith.
None of My Business was produced by Dave Cobb.
Dawes released None of My Business on Fri Oct 02 2020.
In a way this song feels like the most focused account of what the whole record is trying to talk about….a relinquishing of my co-dependence. Finally being able to decipher between what concerns me and what doesn’t.
