On That Note: You Can Pack Your Suitcase

[cyclones500]

It’s mid-August, but summer vacation/trip season isn’t over. And, for some, it’s starting college or returning to college.

All those involve ... packing!

To focus on the “luggage” aspect, for this segment we seek songs with title/lyrics that include suitcase, luggage, bag, pack/packing and related terms.

On That Note is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: (Don't) Touch That Dial

Here's one to get the luggage cart rolling.

“Suitcase in my hand.”

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

My suitcase and guitar in hand

 

[MeanDean]

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

 

[MeanDean]

Friday night arrives without a suitcase

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Suitcase of memories

 

[MeanDean]

From their wonderful album, Straight Up

 

[MeanDean]

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And unpack your suitcase

 

[MeanDean]

Deputy sheriff said to me
"Tell me, what you come here for, boy
You better get your bags and flee

 

[MeanDean]

Well it's a sound that's around to stay
I said rock rock rockabilly rules. Okay
Well we packed our bags and we hit the trail
Now we're always on time just like the U.S. mail

 

[MeanDean]

There's a suitcase poking me in the ribs
There's an elbow in my ear
There's a smelly old bum standing next to me
He hasn't showered in a year

John Denver's song but Mary Travers kills it.

 

[cyclones500]

“Boogie with a suitcase.”

 

[MeanDean]

Pick up my bag, run to the station
Railman said, "You've got the wrong location"

 

[cyclones500]

“She packed her bags, got into a hot-air balloon.” //
"My little dog Lassie packed her bags and went out onto the porch."

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

You're a headache, in a suitcase

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

 

[pourcyne]

She helped me with my suitcase

 

[pourcyne]

Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
It's something I need to occupy
A mind like mine
