I grew up in the USA Crossed the border for the third grade Canada to Northern Maine Difficult move for only being eight & I lost my mother at an early age When she went to heaven we had different last names I could never forget that day But I'm tryin' to move on tryna turn the page You can pack your bags but you can't run away You can relocate but it all stays the same You can pack your bags but you can't run away From pain Gettin' real tired of living in a temporary place Need to settle down find a reason to stay I thought I'd move to California its a beautiful state It wasn't soon I was leaving I was going my way You can pack your bags but you can't run away You can relocate but it all stays the same You can pack your bags but you can't run away From pain Don't expect to step on that plane & Have it all just fade You gotta deal with all the hurt and mistakes Or they'll follow you straight to the grave You can pack your bags but you can't run away You can relocate but it all stays the same You can pack your bags but you can't run away From pain
