Nowhere to go... "Soon we'll be away from here/Step on the gas and wipe that tear away/One sweet dream came true today." "You Never Give Me Your Money" is some of Paul's finest writing, summing up his personal view of the acrimony between the Beatles, the freedom he was about to attain with their break up, and the solace he found within his new marriage.
