you can take it with you

well

i'm gonna have to get a new mailbox

'cuz all she left me was a hole

and i'm gonna hafta get a new washin' machine

as soon as i get some new clothes

well

i could close my eyes and run through this house

and never once stub my big toe

it was a man who'd never been left who said

you can't take it with you when you go

hell

she took everything but the kitchen sink

if i had me a glass lord

i'd pour me a drink

it's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show

you can take it with you when you go

well

i'm sittin' here on this hard floor

where a big

soft couch used to be

and i'm starin' at a bug on the wall

where there used to be a tv

well

i'd kill that sucker in a heartbeat

if i could find me anything to throw

i was so naive to have ever believed

you can't take it with you when you go

well

she took everything but the kitchen sink

if i had me a glass lord

i'd pour me a drink

it's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show

you can take it with you when you go

well

she took everything but the kitchen sink

if i had me a glass lord

i'd pour me a drink

it's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show

you can take it with you when you go

i oughta call somebody but i ain't got a phone

just goes to show you can take it with you when you go
