Take It on the Run - Chris Hillman

Why are you makin' plans on your own

Beautiful people heart’s made of stone

Further on I know it’s been done

All they do is take it on the run

Instrumental (Slide Guitar)

I hear them cryin' late in the night

Visitor callin' and something’s not right

Politicians tell you of the work to be done

All they do is take it on the run

Take it on the run

There’s somebody spendin' my hard earned cash

Take it on the run

Oh, somebody’s drivin' my brand new Cadillac

Take it on the run

Oh, somebody’s swimmin' in my swimming pool

Don’t you know they played me for the fool

Instrumental (Slide Guitar)

I worked like a dog for the last fifteen years

Don’t you feel sorry just wipe away those tears

Sooner or later gonna get you in the end

Old age just takes it off again

Well, my so-called friends are gonna let me down

Tell me stories turn my head around

Make me believe I’m the only one

All they do is take it on the run

Take it on the run

There’s somebody spendin' my hard earned cash

Take it on the run

Oh, somebody’s drivin' my brand new Cadillac

Take it on the run

Yeah, somebody’s swimmin' in my swimming pool

Don’t you know they played me for the fool
