Dropkick Murphys - Take It And Run lyrics

rate me

Maureen's out on the street again

Didn't get the job 'cause she missed her appointment

She don't know if the kids are fed

They've got holes in their shoes and the cold's coming quick now

The power's off the bills ain't paid gotta jump the box from the neighbor's apartment

Space heaters and welfare checks are as good as it gets in this land of hard lessons

Don't talk to me if you ain't got the answers I need

Yeah I've got problems

Can't you see I'm trying to solve them?

Broke it off with the man in her life finally got the courage to pack up and leave now

She keeps saying she'll be all right but in her mind does she really believe it

Long lines on Piedmont Street but if you hang around you might get a bed there

Turn around and don't look back you've got a piece of your life so take it and run now

The sun is shining on you

Maureen may all your dreams come true

Broke it off with the man in her life you know she ain't got nothing better

Yeah you know she don't but she keeps on believing

The sun is shining on you

Maureen may all your dreams come true
