You Can't Take It with You When You Go - Gene Watson

I got a friend who’s a workaholic, he never knows when to quit

Well, Me, I knock off early every chance I get

He’s got an I.R.A.

for a rainy day but I wonder if he knows

That you can’t take it with you when you go

While I’m out somewhere fishin', you bet he’s workin' hard

My little boat’s in the water, his big boat sits in the yard

And while I’m makin' time with that gal of mine

His love life’s on hold, you can’t take it with you when you go

You can’t take it with you when you go

You better take some time to live and love before you get too old

All the treasures in this world don’t mean a thing when they lay you low

'Cause you can’t take it with you when you go

Now hard work it’s a virtue and there’s nothin' wrong with that

I ain’t afraid to pull my weight but I ain’t gonna break my back

I ain’t worried about my bank account, just let the good times roll

You can’t take it with you when you go

You can’t take it with you when you go

You better take some time to live and love before you get to old

All the treasures in this world don’t mean a thing when they lay you low

'Cause you can’t take it with you when you go

All the treasures in this world don’t mean a thing when they lay you low

'Cause you can’t take it with you when you go…
