Steve Miller Band - Take the Money and Run lyrics

Hoo hoo

This here's a story 'bout Billy
Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothing 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, 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
Hoo hoo hoo

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run hoo hoo hoo
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run hoo 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 living 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 singing

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run hoo hoo hoo
Go on, take the money and run, oh Lord
Go on, take the money and run hoo hoo hoo

Yeah, yeah
Go on, take the money and run (yeah, yeah)
Hoo hoo hoo
Go on, take the money and run, oh Lord
Go on, take the money and run (yeah, yeah)
Hoo hoo hoo
Go on, take the money and run, oh Lord
