We All Got a Suitcase

We might not be ready to call a lawyer, but there is so much truth in this song. Great blues song-- sounds even better than the lyrics. Oh yeah, we all got a suitcase.


Suitcase

I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go

I got a suitcase baby, I take it everywhere I go

It's just a big old bag of trouble, trouble all I know

I met a girl, fell in love

And our love was true

I met a girl, fell in love

Ooh, our love was true

Well and I found out, Lord she had a big old suitcase too

Lord, so we put our bags together, made a home for two

People we put our bags together, you know made a home for two

Then along came the children, gave them all a suitcase too

Well the house got too small, the bags got too big

We was holdin' on to everythin', whatever said or did

Well I complained about the salt, in the black eyed peas

Then she put her hand on her hip and she told me to leave

And take my suitcase, and get on out that door

You gonna hear from lawyer, I can't take it no more

I had to get down on my knees, beg her to let me stay

I had to get down on my knees and beg her to let me stay

I said baby, we got a whole lot of baggage

Let's call somebody and have it hauled all away

I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go

People I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go

It's a big old bag of trouble, I don't need no more
