Take the Money and Run

Whoo-hoo!

This here's a story 'bout 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's what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to 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 (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

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 runnin' today, singin'

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Go on, take the money and run, ooh, Lord

Go on, take the money and run (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Yeah, yeah

Go on, take the money and run, yeah, yeah (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Go on, take the money and run, ooh, Lord

Go on, take the money and run, yeah, yeah (whoo-hoo-hoo!)

Go on, take the money and run

Ooh, Lord
