Lyric

Never realized how much she brought to the table

Till I went to sip my cup coffee where the table used 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'

And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright

And 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 the 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 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

'Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'

And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright

And 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 and took off down the road

And they say 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

- It's already the end -
