[Verse 1: Eric church]
Never realized how much she brought to the table
Till I went to sit my cup of coffee where the table use to be
No cats, no bed, no heirloom antique cradle
An' no more hope for one day starting' that family
Bet she's gaining' fast on Memphis with a trailer-load in tow
Who says you can't take it with you when you go

[Chorus: Eric church]
Cause she got away with everything that I had going'
An' she got away 'fore I could make it all alright
An' I got away with leaving' what needs said unspoken
Hell, I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye
Yeah, she took her heart an' took off down that road
An' they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Verse 2: Eric church]
Good news is: aren’t much here left for packing'
Bad news is: she left behind a million memories
All the echoes of her crying', loving' an' laughing'
Left me with nothing' left to do but leave
That old' house is in the rear view: riding' shotgun is her ghost
Who says you can't take it with you when you go

[Chorus : Eric church]
Cause she got away with everything that I had going'
An' she got away 'fore I could make it all alright
An' I got away with leaving' what needs said unspoken
Hell, I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye
Yeah, she took her heart an' took off down that road
An' they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Eric church]
Closing' in on Dallas, now, is the best love I've ever known
An' they say you can't take it with you when you go

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
