TAKE ME WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO

TAKE ME WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO

Baby, I see that far away look
In your bright blue eyes
It says you might be leavin'
Time to say good-bye;
If your plans are to go
Then I think you should know
I've just one big favor
Take me with you when you go.

Take me far away from here
To where the lights shine bright
Maybe off to Vegas
Where it's never night;
Perhaps we'll go to Nashville
Where things stay in tune
And stars are always smiling
Like the man in the moon.

Take me with you when you go
So I won't be alone
And when we run out of money
We can just come home;
I know you miss the highway
Like I miss the sea
But who would you make love with
If you didn't have me?

You left while I was sleeping
A note by my coffee cup:
"I didn't know what to say
So I didn't wake you up;
I couldn't take you with me
'Cuz I'm not coming back
I've left you for your brother
Yes, my lover Jack."

I cried all day on Monday
And the month of June
I cried all summer long
From midnight until noon;
I just missed him so much
Wished that he'd come back
I'll always love him so much
My only brother, Jack.
