Story Behind the Song
The Motivation for this song is simple--You can't take it with you when you've gone.
Lyrics
You can't take it with you,
When you've gone.
You can't take it with you,
when you've gone.
There was a man, took his son aside,
"What do you wanna be?"
The boy said, "I can be anything,
as long as it's you and me."
But the man was so busy working,
that the boy grew up alone.
Just because you buy a big, ol' house,
doesn't mean that you've made a home.
You can't take it with you,
When you've gone.
You can't take it with you,
When you've gone.
That little boy grew in to a man,
And he had a son of his own.
They didn't live fancy,
And their place was small;
But the love was freely shown.
And when that son reached manhood,
His daddy was his best friend.
Sometimes, the lessons you learn
Are the messages you should send.
You can't take it with you,
When you've gone.
You can't take it with you,
When you've gone.
