I have been draggin' around your sensitive ego Making sure that your bags arrive on time for the dog and pony show Leather suitcase like a brick, it kinda makes it hard to get a good grip I drop your troubles off at the conveyor belt, I hand you a ticket to go get it yourself At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name When you hit the ground, check the lost and found 'Cause it ain't my problem now I can't carry it on, I got a lot of troubles of my own It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car I'm packin' it in so come and get it If it ain't obvious what has set me off today Behind every woman scorned is a man who made her that way Go on and take your little business trip with that sweet little habit that you can't kick You better call your momma when you get to town 'cause I ain't gonna be hangin' around At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name When you hit the ground, check the lost and found Because it ain't my problem now I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles of my own It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car And I'm packin' it in so come and get it Come and pick it up, pick it up Before I blow it up in flames You better pick it up, pick it up Baby, I'm leaving everything At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name And when you hit the ground, check the lost and found Because it ain't my problem now I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles of my own It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car Well, I'm packin' it in so come and get it Come and get yo shit
