Текст песни
Joe's been working real hard
Loggin' lots of overtime
He's got the first dollar that he ever earned
And still hoarding every dime
He wants to be like Rockefeller
Build a kingdom here on earth
But his family and his health have had to pay the price
So what's his net really worth?
He's gonna have to leave it all behind
When he clocks out for the very last time
'Cause you can't take it with you (Can't take it with you)
But you can send it on ahead (Send it on ahead)
Store up your earthly treasures in a heavenly bank instead
'Cause your money don't mean nothing
When you're laying there dead
'Cause you can't take it with you
But you can send it on ahead
Lately Joe's been thinking
Whether there's more to life than this
So he's been getting home early
Spending more time with his wife and kids
Counting all his blessings
Learning more every day
The only kind of riches that last forever's what you give away
So now he's spreading it all around
Investing in higher ground
You can't take it with you (Can't take it with you)
But you can send it on ahead (Send it on ahead)
Store up your earthly treasures in a heavenly bank instead
'Cause your money don't mean nothing
When you're laying there dead
'Cause you can't take it with you
But you can send it on ahead
No, you can't take it with you (Can't take it with you)
But you can send it on ahead (Send it on ahead)
And store up your earthly treasures in a heavenly bank instead
'Cause your money don't mean nothing
When you're laying there dead
'Cause you can't take it with you
But you can send it on ahead
No, your money don't mean nothing
So just send it on ahead
