You’ve been a part of my life so very long
It’s hard for me to believe sometimes, you’re really gone
I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place
Just hoping no one can tell by the look on my face

That you’re still in my heart
Always on my mind
A part of my everyday

Like just last night, I went out for a bite
And I tried to have fun with her on my mind
But even the laughter, it wasn’t much of a break
'Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake

Bobby Joe walked in
With a couple of friends and said
"Hey man, have you seen her at all?
Like where’s she been?"

And it struck a nerve and it hit a vein
You’d think from all the tears I’ve cried
This broken hearted pain
I wouldn’t have to carry you around with me

But it seems like everywhere I go
There's somebody wants to know where you’ve been
And are you coming back again
I swear I can’t take you anywhere

So I left all alone, I just headed on home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister and one from an old friend
(Hey man, I drove by your house tonight, dude, but uh)
You weren’t in

Just checkin' up on you, boy
I hope you’re doin' alright
Oh, by the way, man, I seen her last night

And it struck a nerve and it hit a vein
You’d think from all the tears I’ve cried
This broken hearted pain
I wouldn’t have to carry you around with me

But it seems like everywhere I go
There's somebody wants to know where you’ve been
And are you coming back again
I swear I can’t take you anywhere

Oh baby, I swear I can’t take you anywhere
No no no no no
I can’t take you anywhere, baby
Oh, no no
