Another version of this song was first released in 2002 on the album “Blaze It!”, with completely different lyrics. Yet, the topic seems to be the same.
The lyrics of the Baggage 2002 version are less cryptic, and indicate this song is about a close friend that has a drug addiction, and is driving...
All that we've been through
And all we can't undo
I'm picking out the songs to set the mood
They'll play them at a funeral for you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
It's a measure of pity
That I won't carry... I won't carry
It's a matter of duty
But I won't carry... I won't carry you
Most of us have our secrets
One deep-rooted mark we can't remove
I'm guessing yours still owns you
I can't dig mine up to bury you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
I will lie with the guilty
But I won't carry... I won't carry...
It's a measure of bad dreams
But I won't carry... I won't carry you
