can't take it with you

Singer:church, eric

never realized how much she brought to the table

till i went to sit my cup of coffee where the table use to be

no cats

no bed

no heirloom antique cradle

an' 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

cause she got away with everything that i had goin'

an' she got away 'fore i could make it all alright

an' 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 an' took off down that road

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

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' an' laughin'

left me with nothin' left to do but leave

that ol' house is in the rear view: ridin' shotgun is her ghost

who says you can't take it with you when you go

closin' in on dallas

now

is the best love i've ever known

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