Steve Miller Band

Take the Money and Run

This here's a story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' 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

/ G F C - / / / G F C BbF /

The headed down to old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobby Sue took the money and run, oo, oo, oo

{Refrain}
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run, oo, oo, oo
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run, oo, oo, oo

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 of the people's taxes

Bobby Sue, oh, 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'






The Steve Miller Band The Joker Lyrics

Some people call me the space cowboy,yeah Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitus of love People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin on the run Wooo Wooooo

You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches Wanna shake your tree a Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure dont want to hurt no-one Wooo Woooo

People keep talking about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time Come on baby and I'll show you a good time
