I Can't Take You Anywhere

Toby Keith · Pull My Chain [2001]

You've been a part of my life for so very long

It's hard for me to belive sometimes your really gone

I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place

Hoping no one can tell by the look on my face

That your still in my heart Always on mind part of my every day

Like just last night I went out for a bite

And i tried to have fun with a all my might

but even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break

Hey right in the middle of my salad and steak

Bobby Joe walked in, with a couple of friends and said,

Hey man have you heard from her at all like a where' she been



(chorus)

And it struck a nerve

And it hit a vein

You'd think from all the tears I cried in this broken hearted pain

I wouldn't have to carry you around with me but it seem like

Everywhere i go somebody wants to know where you been

Are you coming back again I swear

I can't take you anywhere



So I left all alone

I just headed back home

As I listened to the messages on my telephone

There was one my sister

And one from an old friend it said, I drove by your house tonight dude

But ah, you wutin' in just checkin up on ya boy

hope your doin' alright oh by the way man i seen her last night



(chorus)



Oh baby I swear I can't take you anywhere

Oh no no

I can't take anywhere baby
