Can't Take It With You

[Verse 1]

Never realized how much she brought to the table

Till I went to sit my cup of coffee where the table used to be

No cats, no bed, no heirloom antique cradle

No more hope for one day startin' that family

Bet she's gainin' fast on Memphis with a trailer-load in tow

Who says you can't take it with you when you go?

[Chorus]

'Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'

And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright

And I got away with leavin' what needs said unspoken

Hell, I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye

Yeah, she took her heart and took off down that road

And they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Verse 2]

Good news is ain’t much here left for packin'

Bad news is she left behind a million memories

All the echoes of her cryin', lovin', and laughin'

Left me with nothin' left to do but leave

That old house is in the rear view, ridin' shotgun is her ghost

Who says you can't take it with you when you go?

[Chorus]

'Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'

And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright

And I got away with leavin' what needs said unspoken

Hell, I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye

She just took her heart and took off down that road

And they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Closin' in on Dallas, now, is the best love I've ever known

And they say you can't take it with you when you go
