Trash Bag Luggage

3shirts, 1 pair of shoes, 1 undergarment, and 2 pants,
They told me to throw it in my trash bag.
My trash bag was my luggage and the only thing that belonged to me.
A couple of drawings from my group home's goodbye,
I placed it in my trash bag.
My trash bag was my luggage and the only thing that belonged to me.
3 hours, 1 soda, 1 social worker, and 2 dollars,
Out the car I saw families that weren't mine,
I sighed and squeezed my trash bag tight.
My trash bag was my luggage and the only thing that belonged to me.
3 staff, 1 bed, 1 closet, and 1 bible,
They said this is my new sojourn home.
I unloaded my luggage to some laughs that weren't mine.
My trash bag was my luggage and the only thing that belonged to me.
3 shirts, 1 pair of shoes, 1 undergarment, and 2 pants,
A couple of drawings from my group home's goodbye,
I watched as girls leave to parents that weren't mine.
Many months went by and they threw my trash bag away.
They didn't know and I didn't tell,
That my trash bag was my luggage and the only thing that belonged to me.
