I Can't Take You Anywhere

You've been a part of my life for so very long It's hard for me to believe sometimes you're really gone I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place Hoping no one can 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, 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?' (Chorus) And it, struck a nerve And it, hit a vein You'd think from all the tears I cried 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 comin' 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 checkin' up on you boy, I hope you're doing alright Oh by the way man, I seen her last night' *Chorus* Oh no, I swear, I can't take you anywhere Just can't take you I can't take you anywhere I can't take you anywhere Oh no no no no no no no no I can't take you anywhere, baby
