C. Matthew Brewer - Take the Money & Run Lyrics

As I crash and burn into the earth
I am lost to all the moments of my life
Each one is hung with disbelief
They light a path that leads away into the night
Am I wrong
Are you right
Am I gone
We spend our lives accumulating things
Just to toss them out the door with our last names
Are we remembered for the love we share
Or for the pain for which we surely are to blame
As I glide into the atmosphere
I can't help but wonder how I will be grieved
Will you cry yourself to sleep at night
Will you try to drain my blood out of your veins
If there's love enough left to lift you
Hear what I say
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Don't carve my name into a stone
Don't lock me up
Just let me go
Go on, take the money and run
In times of troubled mind and soul
Remember all the love that brought you to this place
And though you may not realize it now
A part of me will always live in your embrace
In times of troubled mind and soul
Remember all those nights, the words that we once spoke
Point your gaze upon the stars
And know they burn for you to ease your pain
If there's love enough left to lift you
Hear what I say
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Don't carve my name into a stone
Don't lock me up
Just let me go
Go on, take the money and run
