Take the Money and Run (Live Alternate Version)

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

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

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Yeah, Greg

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

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

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

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

Go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Yeah

Oh, yeah
