Lyrics Gene Watson – You Can’t Take It With You When You Go

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…
