Take The Money And Run Lyrics - Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

I was caught up in a fever 

In that summer of '69 

And my heart was cryin' out for change 

And I knew time was comin' when I'd get away. 

So I moved down to that city 

Where I met a friend of mine 

And I must admit he tried to warn me well 

With all those bad luck stories he could tell. 

He said "Take the money and run, 

Take the money and run 

Believe it, in this town you can't trust anyone 

You're gonna learn that lesson my son". 

"Take the money and run, 

Buy yourself a place in the sun 

Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone 

You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".

He was broken, he was wasted 

He'd been brought down to his knee 

And his heart was crying out for truth 

You could see the whole world's sadness in his eyes. 

So I took good care of business 

At least as far as I could see 

I could read the signs and I knew all the lines 

But so many times his voice came back to me. 

"Take the money and run, 

Get it at the point of a gun 

Believe it, in this town you can't trust anyone 

You're gonna learn that lesson my son". 

"Take the money and run, 

Buy yourself a place in the sun 

Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone 

You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".

I've been wanderin' through this wasteland 

Where the blind go leading the blind 

And the only sound on the money-go-round 

Was the million voices waiting to be found. 

I could only hear a whisper 

It was comin' from the one I loved 

And her heart was saying this can't be right 

All my wasted days and all her lonely nights. 

Take the money and run, 

Get it at the point of a gun 

Believe it, n this town you can't trust anyone 

You're gonna learn that lesson my son. 

Take the money and run, 

Buy yourself a place in the sun 

Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone 

You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run.
