Lyrics
[Intro]
Hoo-hoo
[Verse 1]
This here's the 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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Hoo-hoo-hoo
[Chorus]
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
[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 other people's taxes
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Go on, take the money and run
Ooh, Lord
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Go on, take the money and run
Yeah, yeah, hoo-hoo-hoo
Go on, take the money and run
Ooh, Lord
Go on, take the money and run
Yeah, yeah, hoo-hoo-hoo
Go on, take the money and run
Ooh, Lord
