"Can't Shake You" lyrics

"Can't Shake You"

I still change the station
Every time they play that song
Can't drive past your house
So I take the long way home
Your black leather jacket
Still hangin' in my closet
I wish that I could give it away
Oh even though you're gone, somehow you stay

[Chorus:]
And every other time a love said goodbye
I just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don't feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another lover, built up my walls
Told myself it's over, don't know what else I can do
I can't shake you

I didn't wanna be here
But my friends all love this bar
I don't wanna see you
But I'm wondering where you are
And why am I still keepin'
The shirt you used to sleep in?
It's been sittin' there for over a year
Oh even though you left me you're still here

[Chorus]

I can't shake you
No matter how hard I try
I can't shake you
I can't shake you
And I don't know why

[Chorus]

"Can't Shake You" is the third single from the album. The song was released in September 2012.
James T. Slater, who co-wrote this song, told Taste of Country that the idea for it came after he realized that there still were his former girlfriend's stuff left at his place although they had broken-up two years prior.
Tom Gossin said of the song, "It's about having someone's memory there, but they're not quite there."
The music video for "Can't Shake You" was filmed at Silverado's bar in Nashville.
