drive-by truckers - baggage (live at 40 watt club, athens, ga, 2018) lyrics

[verse 1]
listening to the radio when they said that you were gone
already feeling more than a little down
mood swings run rampant on both sides of my family
like an albatross i carry around
and i never ever knew you but i miss you all the same
life was better for the happiness you brought
for the joyrides you took us on, the rocky roads we landed on
whiplashed by the demons that you fought

[chorus]
fightin’ with the baggage that is pulling down on me
like an undertow pulls into the sea
lights our daily struggle ’til it’s hard to separate
you from all thе darkness in me

[verse 2]
some asswipе on the tv said you oughta be ashamed
for your carelessness in chasing down your flaws
and i’m not sure what makes me sadder, all that talent up in flames
or the lack of understanding that it wrought

[chorus]
dealing with the baggage that is pulling down on me
toss it in the river and be free
lights our daily struggle ’til it’s hard to separate
you from all the darkness in me
[verse 3]
i’m not seeking explanations for this thing that you did
a thin line separates the laughter from despair
and i’ve had my own depression since i was just a kid
but been blessed with the means to repair
there’s this baggage that you carry and some sweetness locked within
just be careful where you implement the straps
all this weight can be salvation when the air is much too thin
but it can pull you down too far to climb back out

[chorus]
climb ’round with the baggage that is pulling down on me
toss it in the river and be free
move so close together ’til it’s hard to separate
you from all the darkness in me
tossing off the baggage, too much weight and too much draggage
all this freight can put you six feet in the ground
nothing we can do but try to keep it all together
better off without the baggage that i carry around, carry around, carry around

[post+chorus]
carry around

[outro]
thank you
