Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to carry my past
Like a duffle bag
It's been hurtin' my head
And breakin' my back
[Verse 2]
But when you live in the rear-view
You just crash
Oh, I'm done carryin'
My past like that
[Verse 3]
I'm travellin' light
I'm layin' it down
All those demons
I know I keep draggin 'round
[Verse 4]
I'm cuttin' the ties
I'm droppin' the weight
Of all my hurt and my regrets
And my mistakes
[Verse 5]
I'm tired of livin' unforgiven
So I'm travellin' light
Oh I'm travellin' light
[Verse 6]
Don't lay the blame on anyone else
I'm always the last to forgive myself
This startin' over is overdue
Oh, these old boots sure feel brand new
[Verse 7]
I'm travellin' light
I'm layin' it down
All those demons
I know I keep draggin 'round
[Verse 8]
I'm cuttin the ties
I'm droppin' the weight
Of all my hurt and my regrets
And my mistakes
[Verse 9]
I'm tired of livin', oh, unforgiven
So I'm travellin' light
So I'm travellin' light (Come on! Sing it!)
[Verse 10]
All I'm gonna take
Is a little bit of faith
That it's all gonna be alright
[Verse 11]
I only got room
For some love and some truth
And a little bit of peace of mind
[Verse 12]
So, I'm travellin' light
And I'm layin' it down
All those demons
I left 'em buried in the ground
[Verse 13]
I'm cuttin the ties
I'm droppin' the weight
I got a one-way ticket
Towards those better days
[Verse 14]
I'm tired of livin', oh, unforgiven
So I'm travellin' light (I'm travellin' light)
Oh, I'm travellin' light
Oh, I'm travellin' light
I'm travellin' light (I'm travellin' light)
