Don't wallow in your regrets. There's always time to be a better person.

lyrics

I've said some things I did not know
I've said some things sunk to the bone
I get angry at things I can't control
I've hurt the people I love most
Well my mama always said to me
to treat others how you want to be
Well I've given less than I've received
but I know I'm more than just a leech

When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath

I always hoped to clean my soul,
afraid I'll be dirty till I'm growin' old
learnin' the past is already passed
it ain't here and now to decide where I go
Well I'm lacin' up my hiking boots
dropping everything I can to leave behind
gonna go where ever the road leads me to
cause now I'm strong from carryin' these things my whole life

When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath

Packin', leavin', doin' no grievin'
sheddin', forgettin', ain't gonna be needin'
Packin, leavin', doin' no grievin'
sheddin', forgettin', aint gonna...

When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath
