George Strait – Carrying Your Love With Me Lyrics

Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag
And everything I own don’t fill up half
But don’t you worry ‘bout the way I pack
All I care about is getting back real soon
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

[Chorus:]
I’m carrying your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I’ll be movin’ with the good Lord’s speed
Carrying your love with me
It’s my strength for holdin’ on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I’ll have everything I’ll ever need
I’m carrying your love with me

On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain
Darlin’ all I have to do is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shining in my heart for you
You’re right there in everything I do, ‘cause…

[Chorus]
