What You Can'T Break

You can take my house you can take my truck you can take my money I don't give a f*** but you can't take what you can't break you can't touch my heart or the memories, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, or talks in the dark you can't touch my heart you can take my pension take your alimony take all you can get just leave me lonely I'll always be free something in me you could never hold a rambling, restless wandering soul so you got the best I had to give now all I wanna do is live we're still friends until the end we'll help our kids raise our grand-kids we'll toast the life we had together but we both know it was time to go let the eight ball roll i'll be back again I don't know when birthdays, holidays, anniversaries but until then I'll be under the moon gazing up at the stars serenading the night on an old guitar free as a bird with a song in my heart the sun on my shoulder one day dumber and one day older with nothing but nothing before me and nothing but you behind me not gone, not forgotten just far away as a balloon can fly that's all I wanna be 'til the day I die so take my house take my truck take my money I don't give a f___ you can't take what you can't break you can't hold this wandering soul only the wind knows where I'll go I'm wild and free like I want to be don't care what it cost for me to be lost just gotta go wherever I roam like the buffalo it's all my home and in the end I'd love you again but I'm all air and you're all ground your love held me there kept me far enough down to have a family raise five beautiful kids and when they were gone you did what you did let go of your balloon on a string watched it sail away until you couldn't see does it still love you it always will even as it disappears over the hill so take my house take me truck take my money I don't give a f___ you could take and you could break all of me I'd still be free

This was a lovely song of life... I totally relate to much of it directly. Well done. Time to fly, and live. Ann
