about

This is a fun way of spreading a very good message to those, including myself, that sometimes forget that the things of this earth will stay on this earth and that the more you have sometimes makes it harder to let go!

lyrics

Verse 1
I was Bumped up to first class on that flight
Thought I must have done something right
Cause comforts rarely fall into my lap
But this CEO sittin' next to me
Spent the next two hour constanstly
Talkin' money, cars, and the things he had
He never asked what I thought
He Just forged right ahead
But if he had
Here's what I might have said

Chorus:
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
What you gonna do with all that dough
When you leave for the land the departed know
No, you can't take it with you when you go

Verse 2
A long layover, I had to wait
Made calls on my cell as I sat at the gate
Found my ipod and a few books to read
Still bored, I went in the airport store
A magazine? A shirt? Hmmmmm. . . something more?
Maybe I should grab a bite to eat?
But I wasn't really hungry as I stood there in the line
And realized I'd better get the plank out of my own eye, cause. . .

Chorus:
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
Your baggage is bringing you down low
When you leave for the land the departed know
No, you can't take it with you when you go


Bridge:
You may have security in all you have
And thank God you have not been a have-not
But when you board that plane to Glory
Security's gonna strip you of everything you've got, cause. . .

Chorus:
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
The more you hold, the harder to let go
When you leave for the land the departed know
No, you can't take it with you when you go

Chorus:
No, You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
The more you hold, the harder to let go
When you leave for the land the departed know
Know, Know, No you can't take it with you when you go
