Take the money and run
Like a thief across a neighbor's yard
Take the money and run
Like a ghost out in the night.

Take the money and run
'Cause you found out that it wasn't hard
To take the money and run
Because you were out of sight.

You cannot tell me any more lies
You cannot pull the wool over my eyes
Take the money and run
Take the money and run

'Cause the summer sun is sinking down
Take the money and run
'Cause the four winds may not blow
Take the money and run

'Cause the verdict has been handed down
Take the money and run
Because there's no place left to go.
You cannot give me any more time.

You've already taken too much of mine
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Like a thief across a neighbor's yard

Take the money and run
Like a dog out in the night
Take the money and run
Because you found out that it wasn't hard

To take the money and run
Because you were out of sight.
You cannot give me any more time.
You've already taken too much of mine

Take the money and run
