"You Can't Take It When You Go" lyrics, By
Dave Mason 1974

Don't try to possess me
I'll slip from your grasp
The things that you seek
Have already passed
In rushing to own everything that's in sight
Nothing is left
No, not even your life

You can't take it when you go
That's something that you ought to know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soul

Lies can't hurt
At least that's what you say
But there'll be confusion
As sure as night turns to day
Truth is a feeling you just can't deceive
Life's an illusion

When you don't believe

You can't take it when you go
That's something that you ought to know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soul

Repeat

Over and over
Day after day
Life's precious moments are wasting away
If dreams are the schemes on which future's are made
Dream on sweet dreamer
Til you reach your grave

You can't take it when you go
That's something that you ought to know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soul

    Wanting to hear this live- Jim Kreuger is no longer with us- but can you imagine the dualing guitars of Johnne Sambataro and Dave doing this?

    Still want to hear The Lonely One , Baby please , Blow by Blow, I wonder why, and Pink Lipstick live,

  • Wow never heard enough of this great DM song ~ thanks for the posting! Johnny

  • The love of money is the root of all evil.

  • Still have this on vinyl and this song always stood out on this album. Dave really could be melodic in his songs and guitar playing. Thanks for posting this Feathershadow.
