I Can't Take You
words & music by John Hanberry
VS1 Tanks are full, bags are packed,
Ready to hit the road
Sorry but I can't take you
On track I flagged your nag attack
Condition overload
The best that I can do
PC1 Is send you a picture postcard
When I'm two or three days gone
Then you'll never hear from me
Go make it on your own.
CH1 Sorry but I can't take you
I'm sorry but I can't take you.
VS2 I'm launchin' on a cosmic journey
Goin' surfin' around the sun
Sorry but I can't take you.
Set out in the dead of night
'fore you came all undone
Sweet taste of mornin' dew
PC2 For sentimental reasons
I'll make this one last call
I busted free, no you and me
Give my love to one and all
CH2 Sorry but I can't take you
So sorry but I can't take you.
BR I can't take you anywhere
See, you don't travel all that well
If half the fun is getting there,
The fun began when I bid you farewell
Knowin' that I can't take you.
[16 bars gtr]
VS3 You're a sad reflection in my rear view mirror
Cryin' as the car pulls out
Lookin' sorry that I can't take you
Down the line when things get clearer
Maybe you can figure it out
At least I hope you do
Ch3 And I'm sorry but I can't take you
So sorry but I can't take you
(Sorry)
Ch4 (Well I'm sorry)
That I can't take you
(So sorry, so sorry)
I really can't take you
(So sorry)
