I Can`t Take You Anywhere

<br>(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick) <br><br>You`ve been a part of my life for so very long<br>It`s hard for me to believe sometimes that you`re really gone<br>I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place<br>Hoping no one could tell by the look on my face<br>That you`re still in my heart, always on my mind<br>Part of my everyday<br>Like just last night I went out for a bite<br>I tried to have fun with all of my might<br>But even the laughter, it wasn`t much of a break<br>`Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak<br>Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends<br>And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like<br>Where`s she been?"<br><br>And it, struck a nerve<br>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>But it seems like everywhere I go<br>Somebody wants to know where you`ve been<br>Are you comin` back again, I swear<br>I can`t take you anywhere<br><br>So I left all alone, just headed back home<br>As I listened to the messages on my telephone<br>There was one from my sister<br>And one from an old friend<br>He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but<br>You weren`t in<br>Just checkin` up on you boy, I hope you`re doin` alright<br>Oh by the way man, I seen her last night<br><br>And it, struck a nerve<br>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>But it seems like everywhere I go<br>Somebody wants to know where you`ve been<br>Are you comin` back again, I swear<br>I can`t take you anywhere<br><br>I swear, I can`t take you<br>Just can`t take you<br>I can`t take you anywhere<br>I can`t take you anywhere<br>I can`t take you anywhere<br>I can`t take you anywhere
