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      Chorus:   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
