about

A fun, easy little tune about the plans we make and the chances we never let ourselves take.

lyrics

He's got his suitcase packed in the corner
But he never went anywhere, knows he's a goner
'Cause he stayed put for all of his days
He waited too long, and now it's too late

And he's too old, too tired, the time isn't right
The same thing he said when he thought last time
Of the corner in the room of the same old town
Packed up with his daydreams of setting out
With a suitcase

Now he's a company man, with tricks up his sleeve
It don't pay enough to stay, but too much to leave
He gets up for work before it gets light
At quittin' time, it's gettin' near night

His girlfriend's talkin' 'bout settling down
She's a practical girl who casts a disapproving frown
At the corner of the room that her boyfriend keeps
And talks about at night when his sleep is deep
The suitcase

In old Chicago-town, the bands are hot
And L.A. reads like a movie plot
Mexico's a good time for sure
And New York's got just a little bit more

He's made up his mind and he's ready to go
But somehow, he never go out the door
But it runs through his mind while he's running in place
The corner of the room where it always waits
The suitcase
