Take It With You (Live at Carnegie Hall) Lyrics by Cameron Winter
You can roam as far east as the map goes
Or further west than walked the pioneers
You can sail down south where the chocolate trees grow
But you can’t stay here
Cowboy north ’til 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
When 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 puts you at ease
But you won’t be on my mind
I found a keepsake of you
By the window in the kitchen
Take it with you when you leave
