The Gincident - Too Much Baggage

She stepped up to the ticket counter
Her suitcase was overweight
They wanted fifty dollars extra
She said she'd send it freight
Among her socks and underwear
She packed her worries and despair
Two hundred thirty pounds of angst
Issues by the crate

She's got too much baggage, she couldn't find a porter
Too much baggage, the airline wouldn't board her
Too much baggage, the sherpas just ignored her
Too much baggage

She crammed it in the seat-back pocket
Piled it beneath her feet
She couldn't close the tray table
For her anger and deceit
She filled the entire exit row
The luggage bins they overflowed
It spilled out onto the tarmac
Lay there in a heap

She's got too much baggage, she couldn't find a porter
Too much baggage, the airline wouldn't board her
Too much baggage, the sherpas just ignored her
Too much baggage

Twenty years of slow heartache
In a duffle bag she could barely haul
Her briefcase heavy with uncertainty
Lost messages, missed phone calls
She stuffed her cynicism in her shirt
Her carry-on was filled with hurt
Skinned knees, wounded pride
The body scanner showed it all

She's got too much baggage, she couldn't find a porter
Too much baggage, the airline wouldn't board her
Too much baggage, no one would transport her
Too much baggage, they just couldn't afford her
Too much baggage, the clerk had to report her
Too much baggage, the sherpas just ignored her
Too much baggage
