| This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue Two young lovers with nothin' 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 hassle
 Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
 Bobbie Sue took 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
 
 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 livin' 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
 Singin' 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
