I Can't Take You Anywhere
Scotty Emerick Lyrics

You’ve been a part of my life so very long
You have been a significant part of my life for a long time

It’s hard for me to believe sometimes, you’re really gone
I find it difficult to accept that you have truly left

I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place
I keep the memory of you in a secret place in my mind

Just hoping no one can tell by the look on my face
I hope that my facial expressions do not reveal my inner sorrow

That you’re still in my heart
I still hold you in my heart

Always on my mind
You are always on my mind

A part of my everyday
You are an integral part of my daily life

Like just last night, I went out for a bite
Last night, I went out to eat

And I tried to have fun with her on my mind
Although I had thoughts of you, I tried to enjoy myself

But even the laughter, it wasn’t much of a break
The enjoyment I found in laughter did not provide much relief

'Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake
Just when I was having a milkshake

Bobby Joe walked in
Then Bobby Joe entered

With a couple of friends and said
He came with a few friends and spoke

"Hey man, have you seen her at all?
"Hey, have you seen her lately?

Like where’s she been?"
"Where has she been?"

And it struck a nerve and it hit a vein
His question impacted me heavily

You’d think from all the tears I’ve cried
Given the amount that I have cried, one would expect to feel less pain

This broken hearted pain
The pain of heartbreak

I wouldn’t have to carry you around with me
I hoped that my pain would lessen with time

But it seems like everywhere I go
However, everywhere I go

There's somebody wants to know where you’ve been
Someone always asks me where you are

And are you coming back again
They also wonder if you will return

I swear I can’t take you anywhere
I feel like I cannot escape thoughts of you

So I left all alone, I just headed on home
I then left to go home alone

As I listened to the messages on my telephone
While listening to voicemails on my phone

There was one from my sister and one from an old friend
I received messages from my sister and an old friend

(Hey man, I drove by your house tonight, dude, but uh)
"Hey, I passed by your house tonight, but..."

You weren’t in
You were not home

Just checkin' up on you, boy
Just making sure you’re doing okay

I hope you’re doin' alright
I hope you are doing well

Oh, by the way, man, I seen her last night
Oh, by the way, I saw her last night

Oh baby, I swear I can’t take you anywhere
Oh dear, I feel like I cannot escape thoughts of you

No no no no no
No, no, no, no, no

I can’t take you anywhere, baby
I cannot escape thoughts of you

Oh, no no
Oh, no, no
