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
