Well, I'm standing at the crossroads
Got a suitcase in my hand
I don't know what's 'round the corner
I don't know what's 'round the bend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've gotta put my past behind me
What's done is done
A red taillight, a trail of dust
And I'll be gone
'Cos I'm tempted
To take the money and run
Take the money and run
Yeah, I could be looking 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, wow!
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, yeah
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
Take the money and run
Yeah, take the money and run
