Toby Keith - I Can't Take You Anywhere lyrics

You've been a part of my
Life for so very long
It's hard for me to believe
Sometimes that you're really gone
I tuck your memory away in
That special hiding place
Hoping no one could tell by
The look on my face
That you're still in my heart
Always on my mind part of my everyday

Like just last night I went out for a bite
I tried to have fun with all of my might
But even the laughter
It wasn't much of a break
'Cause right in the middle of
My salad and steak
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
And said
"Hey have you heard from her at all man like
Where's she been?"

And it, struck a nerve and it, hit a vein
You'd think from all the tears I cried
And this broken hearted pain
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been
Are you coming back again, I swear
I can't take you anywhere

So I left all alone, just headed back home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister
And one from an old friend he said
"I drove by your house tonight dude but
You weren't in just checking up on you boy
I hope you're doing alright
Oh by the way man, I seen her last night

And it, struck a nerve and it, hit a vein
You'd think from all the tears I cried
And this broken hearted pain
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been
Are you coming back again, I swear
I can't take you anywhere

I swear, I can't take you
Just can't take you
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
