ATF: Financial Planning

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Take the Money and Run

Steve Miller (Band)

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 robbin’ 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 fact 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 runnin’ today

Singin'

Go on

Take the money and run

Go on

Take the money and run

Go on

Take the money and run

Oooh Lord

Go on

Take the money and run

Yeah yeah yeah

Go on

Take the money and run

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Go on

Take the money and run

Oooh Lord

Go on

Take the money and run

Yeah

Yeah

Go on

Take the money and run
