about

You surely can’t, but I’ll keep singing this at every family and friends memorial. Mom and dad, Jack and Eleanor, this one’s for you. I’m hoping that someone will sing it for me when I’m gone. “You can’t take it with you when you go. You can’t take it with you even though we can live a lifetime trying, then it’s time to say goodbye. Cuz you can’t take it with you when you go.”

lyrics

You Can’t Take it With You When You Go

Legs ain’t what they used to be
years have got their grip on me
don’t know when it happened, no
I don’t even care no more
I’m still trippin’ on down the road
smilin’ as I go, you know
still carryin’ my own load
and I don’t worry no

Cuz you can’t take it with you when you go
can’t take it with you even though
we can live a lifetime tryin’
‘till its time to say goodbye and
you can’t take it with you when you go

not a whole lot that you can do
when the time down here is thru
blowin’ like a shifting sand
we’re all part of a bigger plan
dust to dust, ash to ash
we can’t hang on to the past
we’ll be headin’ home at last
rollin’ with the flow

I’m still tippin’ on down the road
smilin’ as I go, you know
I be carryin’ my own load, and I don’t worry no
