I don't know who you think you are
Or how you made it here
A falcon needs more than a friend
How dare you interfere?

I've got baggage but so do you
Hand in hand we can make it through this
If only we believe in love

Who are you to question me,
To say I'm not sincere?
You've only known him a day or two
And I've been here for years

I've got baggage but so do you
Hand in hand we can make it through this
If only we believe in love

I don't know what you've been saying
But I don't think it's what he needs
The two of you were out there playing
Saying things only fools believe

I've got baggage but so do you
Hand in hand we can make it through this
If only we believe in love

I've got baggage but so do you
Hand in hand we can make it through this
If only we believe in love

I've Got Baggage
by Johnny Cashpoint

Ive got baggage
From my marriage
Ive got baggage
Lots of damage

From my marriage that has left me in such pain
Like an amazon damaged package, I must be exchanged
For credit

Just because I
Have got baggage
Doesn't mean that
I'm a maggot
To be badmouthed by all those people who've no clue
To all the brutal challenges that life has put me through
No credit
No credit

No credit ...

My daddy died in his sleep
His belongings now mine to keep
All this digging through is bittersweet
He lived a long time on my old street
Now I got sweatshirts and I got golf shirts
And I got ties. And I got t-shirts.
I put my favorites into a box
Packed the rest and dropped them off

I've got baggage in my trunk
Some it's precious, and some of it's junk
I've got baggage in my Jeep
Some it's meaningless and some of it is deep

My daddy had stacks of old magazines
From the present day back into the 70s
Field and Stream, Garden and Gun,
Golf Digest and Tennessee Outdoorsman
He liked to hunt, so I got guns
And a compound bow but mostly just guns
And some knives, and his fishing gear;
All the things he picked up over the years

I've got baggage in my trunk
Some it's precious, and some of it's junk
I've got baggage in my Jeep
Some it's meaningless and some of it is deep

My daddy had books floor to ceiling
About topics he had appealing
Books on boats, books on airplanes
Books on topics I can't explain
First editions of classic lit
Periodicals about all kinds of shit
Books on Aikido, books on zen
I got containers and I'm putting them in

I got baggage in my trunk
Some of it's precious and some of it's junk
I got baggage in my Jeep
Some of it is priceless and some of it is cheap

I got baggage
I got baggage

(Books and books and tapes and records,
CDs and books and books and books
And books, CDs, and tapes and records
And books and tapes and books and books
CDs and books and books. I've got baggage.)

I've got baggage
I've got saggage in my baggage
I'm an old man tryna start a rock n roll band

I'm getting so cold
My butt lives on the floor
I'm an old made made out of styrofoam

I'm a slug, I'm a blob
I'm the greyhound of the old dogs
I've got legs of mellow yarn
and noodles for arms
Don't need no license for a hot wheels car

I've got baggage
I've got bags under my eyes
Shorts are bags wrapped around my thighs

I feel it in my bones
When I call 'em on the phone
Can't understand a word, tell them to come on home

I'm a slug, I'm a blob
I'm the greyhound of the old dogs
I've got noodles of arms
and legs of mellow yarn
Don't need no license for a hot wheels car

Hey all you eligible young ladies out there,
we’ve got quite the deal for you!
A slightly used manchild with a history of
working out twice a week once.
He'll leave an impression on you like memory foam.
I’ll tell you what, you won’t want to miss out on this rotund beauty!

[an attempt at a guitar solo]

Zipper on my lips
The memories of my hips
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Still want presents from St. Nick

I've Got Baggage
Berkeley Social Scene

Somebody cut me off today so I got my gun
Drove up next to him and waived it just for fun

I’ve been to therapy
I’ve been to shrinks
I’ve spent days in silence alone just to think

I don’t pretend to be the dude who quietly just abides
I’m tightly holding onto what others might put aside
I’ve got baggage, man what can I say

I didn’t plan to shoot but it happened anyway
Lucky for him it was through the roof of my Chevrolet

I’ve been to therapy
I’ve been to shrinks
I’ve spent days in silence alone just to think

I don’t pretend to be the dude who quietly just abides
I’m tightly holding onto what others might put aside
I’ve got baggage, man what can I say

If you want to get close to me be prepared for what’s in store
Spelunking in the caves of the darkness of my soul
I’ve been to hell and back and other places I can’t describe
You might get hurt when I explode what I keep inside

Now when it rains the water pools up in my car
In the sky of knuckleheaded moves you see that I’m a star

I’ve been to therapy
I’ve been to shrinks
I’ve spent days in silence alone just to think

I don’t pretend to be the dude who quietly just abides
I’m tightly holding onto what others might put aside
I’ve got baggage, man what can I say

I've Got Baggage
Hoblit

Perrysburg Ohio where they held my baby shower
And I cried my first tears

Toledo to Ann Arbor it should only take an hour
But it took me five years

Powder Springs and Marietta Smyrna and Atlanta
And on down the road

Accumulating baggage gaining almost every package
And I carry the load
yes I carry that load
Oh won't someone please help me carry the load

Emotional Pollyannas might say Eyore is an ass
And I must have something I need to mask
Everything's on my shoulder now everywhere I go
Rain or shine, hail, sleet or snow

I've got baggage
Over my head

I've got baggage
Over my stead

I've got baggage
Under disguise

I've got baggage
Under my eyes

I've got baggage

Twice I lived in Largo and twice I lived in Tampa
For 18 hot years

Had a ton of fun down there but quite a lot of drama
And I cried some more tears

So I packed it up again and made my way to Charlotte
And I let it all go

Who knows what the future holds, an adage for my baggage
As we head down the road
yes we head down the road
Oh won't someone please help us lighten the load

Emotional Pollyannas might say Eyore is an ass
And we all have something we need to mask
Everything's on our shoulders now everywhere we go
Rain or shine, hail, sleet, or snow


I've got baggage
Over my head

I've got baggage
Over my stead

I've got baggage
Under disguise

I've got baggage
Under my eyes

I've got baggage
