Scotty Emerick I Can't Take You Anywhere Lyrics

You've been a part of my life so very long
It's hard for me to believe sometimes, you're really gone.
I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place,
Just hoping no one can tell by the look on my face,
That you're still in my heart, always on my mind.
A part of my everyday.
Like just last night, I went out for a bite,
An' I tried to have fun with all my might.
But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break,
'Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake,
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends,
And said: "Hey man, have you seen her at all man,
"Like, where's she been?"

And it, struck a nerve, and it, hit a vein:
You'd think from all the tears I cried,
And this broken-hearted pain,
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me,
But it seems like everywhere I go,
There's somebody wants to know,
Where you've been, and are you comin' back again?
I swear, I can't take you anywhere.

So I left all alone. I just headed on home.
As I listened to the messages on my telephone:
There was one from my sister and one from an old friend
"Hey man, I drove by your house tonight, dude,
"But, er, you wasn't in.
"Just checkin' up on you boy, I hope you're doin' alright.
"Oh, by the way man, I seen her last night."

And it, struck a nerve, and it, hit a vein:
You'd think from all the tears I cried,
And this broken-hearted pain,
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me,
But it seems like everywhere I go,
There's somebody wants to know.
Where you've been, an' are you comin' back again?
I swear, I can't take you anywhere.

Oh, baby, I swear, I can't take you anywhere.
No, no, no, no, no, I can't take you anywhere, baby.
Oh, no no.
