| 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 couch, 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 till you go She got away with everything that I had goin'
|
| And she got away before I could make it all alright
|
| And I got a way 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 Good news is ain’t much here left for packin'
|
| Bad new 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 rearview, ridin’shotgun is her ghost
|
| Who says you can’t take it with you when you go
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| 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 |
