(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)
You`ve been a part of my life for so very long
It`s hard for me to believe sometimes that you`re really gone
I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place
Hoping no one could tell by the look on my face
That you`re still in my heart, always on my mind
Part of my everyday
Like just last night I went out for a bite
I tried to have fun with all of my might
But even the laughter, it wasn`t much of a break
`Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
And said, Hey have you heard from 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
Somebody wants to know where you`ve been
Are you comin` back again, I swear
I can`t take you anywhere
So I left all alone, just headed back home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister
And one from an old friend
He said, I drove by your house tonight dude but
You weren`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
Somebody wants to know where you`ve been
Are you comin` back again, I swear
I can`t take you anywhere
I swear, I can`t take you
Just can`t take you
I can`t take you anywhere
I can`t take you anywhere
I can`t take you anywhere
I can`t take you anywhere
