That car you drive is cool all right
24-inch wheels and sweet skins tires
You spent all summer waxin' buffin'
Making that thing shimmer and shine
She sure looks pretty out there on the street
Man, she'll be so hard to leave
But you can't take her with you, you know
Can't take her with you when you go
Been on her since she moved in to your ward in seventh grade
Now she's sitting next to you and
You can't wipe that smile off your face
You almost love her as much as that car
And she's doing crazy things to your heart
But you can't take her with you, you know
Can't take her with you when you go
Canvas covers will block out the weather
And keep that car like new
And good girls will write and cheer you on and pray for you
Seminary graduation
Never stop that education
Hold to the rod
Duty to God
Don't want no phony testimony
Hit your knees dig down deep
Pray for that rock you can stand on
Go home teaching
There's a reason
Give your heart 'till you believe it
Eagle Scout, there's no doubt
You're better for each cold campout
Save that money tell that honey
You'll be gone two years
And then you'll come back here
Ooh
Two years up you're headed home
Your eyes tear up
You don't wanna go
Only one thing on your mind the many hearts you're leaving behind
So many faces you'd never forget
You've only got one regret
That you can't take 'em with you, you know
Oh, you can't take 'em with you, you know
Can't take 'em with you when you go, ooh
