Scott Emerick - I Can't Take You Anywhere lyrics

rate me

You've been a part of my life, so very long<br />

It's hard for me to believe sometimes, you're really gone<br />

I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place<br />

Just hoping no one can tell by the look on my face<br />

<br />

That you're still in my heart<br />

Always on my mind<br />

A part of my everyday<br />

<br />

Like just last night, I went out for a bite<br />

And I tried to have fun with all my might<br />

But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break<br />

'Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake<br />

<br />

Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends<br />

And said, "Hey man, have you seen her at all<br />

Like, where's she been?"<br />

<br />

And it, struck a nerve and it hit a vein<br />

You'd think from all the tears I cried<br />

And this broken-hearted pain<br />

I wouldn't have to carry you around with me<br />

<br />

But it seems like everywhere I go<br />

There's somebody wants to know<br />

Where you've been and are you comin' back again?<br />

I swear, I can't take you anywhere<br />

<br />

So I left all alone. I just headed on home<br />

As I listened to the messages on my telephone<br />

There was one from my sister and one from an old friend<br />

"Hey man, I drove by your house tonight, dude, but, er, you wasn't in"<br />

<br />

Just checkin' up on you boy<br />

I hope you're doin' alright<br />

Oh, by the way man, I seen her last night<br />

<br />

And it, struck a nerve, and it, hit a vein<br />

You'd think from all the tears I cried<br />

And this broken-hearted pain<br />

I wouldn't have to carry you around with me<br />

<br />

But it seems like everywhere I go<br />

There's somebody wants to know<br />

Where you've been and are you comin' back again?<br />

I swear, I can't take you anywhere<br />

<br />

Oh, baby, I swear, I can't take you anywhere<br />

No, no, no, no, no, I can't take you anywhere, baby
