Never realized how much she brought
to the table
I went to sit my cup of coffee
where the table used to be
no couch, no bed, nowhere to loom and to cradle
no more hope
of one day stopping that family
bet she's gaining fast on Memphis
with a trailer loaded and they say
can't take it with you when you're gone
cause she got away with everything that I had going
and she got away before I could make it all alright
she got away,
you were leaving, wasn't even said unspoken
hell I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
she just took her heart,
took all down that road
and they say can't take it with you when you're gone
well good news is ain't much she left for the pack
bad news is she left behind a billion memories
all the echoes of her crying love and laugh
left me nothing left to do but leave
that house is in the rear view
right shotgun is her ghost and they say
can't take it with you when you're gone
cause she got away with
everything that I had going and she got
away before I could make it all alright
she got away,
you were leaving,
wasn't even said unspoken hell I even
blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
she just took her heart, took all down that road
and they say can't take it with you when you're gone
closing in on Dallas now is the best love I've ever known
and they say can't take it with you when you're gone
never realized how much she brought
to the table
