Take The Money And Run

Lyrics

This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue  
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do  
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube  
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose  
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso  
That's where they ran into a great big hassle  
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle  
Bobbie Sue took the money and run  
  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
  
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas  
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is  
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice  
He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes  
  
Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away  
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day  
  
They got the money, hey  
You know they got away  
They headed down south and they're still running today  
Singin' go on take the money and run  
  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run  
Go on take the money and run
