I never realized how much she brought to the table
I went to set my cup of coffee where the table used to be
No couch, no bed, no aromantic cradle
No more hope, one day starting that family
Bet she's gaining fast on Memphis with a trailer loadin' tow
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
And I got away with even what they said unspoken
And I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
She just took her heart and took it all down that road
And they say, can't take it with you when you're gone
Well, good news is there ain't much here left for her to pack
Bad news is she left behind a million memories
All the echoes of her cryin' love and laugh
Left me with nothin' left to do but leave
That pass is in the rear view
Right shotgun is her ghost
And they say, can't take it with you when you're gone
She got away with everything that I had going
And she got away before I could make it all alright
And I got away with even what they said unspoken
And I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
She just took her heart and took it all down that road
And they say, can't take it with you when you're gone
guitar solo
And I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
And an old Dallas man 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
Never realized how much she brought to the table
