Well I'm standing at the crossroads
Got a suitcase in my hands
I don't know what's round the corner
I don't know what's round the bend
I've gotta put my past behind me
What's done is done
A red tail-light, a trail of dust
And I'll be gone

'Cos I'm tempted
To take the money and run
Take the money and run

I could be lookin' out the window
Through the bars of a prison cell
(Let me tell you about it now)
Or living in the lap of luxury
In some fancy hotel
(Yes I could)
A million unmarked dollar bills
A life in the sun
A little easy living
Is all that I want

That's why I'm tempted
To take the money and run
Take the money and run

Put yourself in my shoes
What would you do
Would you take the money and run
Put yourself in my place
Would you be tempted
To take the money and run

Yeah but what you gonna do
Take the money and run

Put yourself in my shoes
What would you do
Would you take the money and run
Put yourself in my place
Would you be tempted
To take the money and run

Put yourself in my shoes
What would you do
Would you take the money and run
Put yourself in my place
Would you be tempted
To take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
