Steve Miller - Take the Money and Run lyrics

[Verse 1] This here's a story about 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 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 ha**le Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle Bobbie Sue took the money and run Hoo hoo hoo [Chorus x4] Go on take the money and run [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus x7]
