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
