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
