lyrics

My suitcase is filthy
It's been on the road
It's tasted things you'd never imagine
The earth of a thousand floors
And I'll never wash it clean
Cause every stain is a memory of a place I have been
With this old suitcase as my table, as my pillow, as my home

All I need's in my suitcase for aywhere I go
It's me and my suitcase
We're going it alone

My friends never understood how I pack up and go
I say I love them and I wish them well
I'll write to them from the road

My suitcase was stolen last night, and it hit me suddenly
All those things that I kept,
And took everywhere I went,
Weren't things that I really need

So if you took my suitcase, thanks for helping me understand
All those things in my suitcase
They don't make me who I am
I don't need no suitcase to get up and go
I don't need no suitcase
I'm going it alone
