Take It With You (Live at Carnegie Hall) Lyrics

You could roam as far east as the map goes
Or further west than walked the pioneers
You could sail down south where the chocolate trees grow
But you can't stay here

Cowboy north till you reach the Dakotas
Ride the highways in your Cadillac
You could make a fortune panning gold in Sarasota
Just don't come back

I found a keepsake of you
By the window in the kitchen
Take it with you when you leave

If you ever get the ache some cold December
To knock again upon your old front door
If you're aching to come home, remember
This place ain't home anymore

And your traveling companion will be memories
You can lie awake with thoughts of simpler times
You can love me from afar if that's what's gonna put you at ease
But you won't be on my mind

I found a keepsake of you
By a window in the kitchen
Take it with you when you leave
