Well, I'm gonna hafta get a new mail box

Cuz all she left me was a hole

And I'm gonna hafta get a new washin' machine

As soon as I get some new clothes

Well, I could close my eyes and run through this house

And never once stub my big toe

It was a man who'd never been left

Who said, "You can't take it with you when you go"



CHORUS:



Well, she took everything but the kitchen sink

If I had me a glass,

Lord, I'd pour me a drink

It's a lesson hard learned

But it just goes to show

You can take it with you

When you go



Well, I'm sittin' here on this hard floor

Where a big, soft couch used to be

And I'm starrin' at a bug on the wall

Where there used to be a TV

Well, I'd kill that sucker in a heartbeat

If I could find me anything to throw

I was so naive

To have ever believed

You can take it with you when you go



(Repeat chorus 2x)



I oughta call somebody

But I ain't got a phone

Just goes to show

You can take it with you when you go
