Met her on a business trip

In one of those Carolinas

She had on the pretty lipstick

That made my jets fly higher

Seemed to be so much chemistry

In that luxury hotel

And the gaps in reality

Led to some show and tell

There was a fancy dinner that night

And the crickets were chirpin’ just right

She said “Hold me, I’m cold.”

Then she told me

She’s got a 3-year-old

She’s got baggage

She’s got baggage

Well just like most guys go

I weren’t thinkin’ with my head

All those curves and that special hairdo

Led us straight to bed

There was so much electricity

In that big ‘ole marble bath

And the gas fireplace intensity

Well, you can do the math

And the gin and tonics don’t help

Because I should have felt

A stop with a big ‘ole skid

When she told me

She had three more kids

She’s got baggage

She’s got baggage

The tryst came to a close

And we said our goodbye’s

But texting is easy ya know

And she wasn’t very shy

I didn’t always answer

But she was a good sport

And I finally flew into meet her

In her hometown airport

Well, we swerved off the street

As I wrastled that kid’s car seat

Off came the clothes

Then I felt

A cold dog’s nose

She’s got baggage

She’s got baggage

Well I know what ya’ll are thinkin’

Your silence is speakin’

Run away, run fast

It ain’t gonna really last

She’s got baggage

She’s got baggage

Well there’s somethin’ about it all

That I couldn’t put my finger on

And that cold water in the shower stall

Made it linger on

Her eyes began to work

In very mysterious ways

The trance from that flirt

Turned my reptile brain to haze

I should’ve knew it from the damn start

That love ain’t very smart

My heart began to fall

For Julie

Baggage and all

She’s got baggage

She’s got baggage

I’ve got baggage

I got baggage

We’ve got baggage
