This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
'cept sit around the house, get high and watch the tube
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed on down, to New Old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe, shot a man while robbin' his castle
Bobby Sue, took the money and run
Yeah
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 Mac, is a detective down in Texas
And he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of other people's taxes
Bobby Sue, whoa whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe, caught up with her the very next day
They got the money hey, you know, they got away
They headed down south and they're still runnin' 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
Well, yeah
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
