Set That Baggage Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That trunk is filled with dusty air
Ghosts that lived and still don’t care
Resist the urge to turn around
And set it down
Set that baggage down brother
Set that baggage down
Throw it in the river
Let that baggage drown
Every girl that left you
every friend that ran
everything that broke you
bury it in the sand
Set that baggage down brother
Set that baggage down
Throw it in the water
Let that baggage drown
Leave it at the station
Leave it in the street
Toss it in the gutter
Set it down by your feet
Walk on, walk on
Walk on down the road
Walk on, walk on
No need to carry that load
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more
When you lost your momma
When you lost your job
when you were feeling hungry
No one left to rob
Set that baggage down brother
Set that baggage down
Set that baggage down brother
Set that baggage down
Rise up, rise up yeah
Rise up, rise up and
Set that baggage down brother
Set that baggage down, down, down
