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's what happened when they decided to cut loose
[Verse 2]
Headed down to old El Paso
That's where they ran into a very big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
And Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Singing
[Verse 3]
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Yeah, Greg
[Verse 4]
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gon' let those two escape justice
He makes his living off of the people's taxes
[Verse 5]
Bobbie Sue, well, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they got away
And they're still running down south
And there's still money today
Singing
[Verse 6]
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
[Verse 7]
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
[Verse 8]
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
Yeah
[Verse 9]
Oh, yeah
