Grab the Money and Run - Kevin Johnson

We all worked on the highway

I was a leading hand

She was a clerk on the payroll and he was a security man

We were all tired of the highways

Heading down a one-way track

We headed out with the payroll

And we never headed back

Grab the money and run

That’s all you can do

When there’s a world out there and it’s waiting for you

On our way

At the most we had a half a day

Then every cop in the land

Every government man

Every two-bit crook with a gun in his hand

Would be out and about

And just looking for us

Things went well on the backroads

Hardly saw a soul all day

And by the time they had discovered us missing

We were four hundred miles away

Climbing on board the «Argentine Queen»

Bobby, Jenny and me

Two hundred grand in the captain in hand

And heading out to sea

Grab the money and run

That’s all you can do

When there’s a world out there and it’s waiting for you

Goodbye old friends

I guess we’ll never see them again

But every cop in the land

Every government man

Every two-bit crook with a gun in his hand

Would hardly expect us to go and catch a boat to Mexico

Lying low in Mexico

Had seemed like a real good plan

When she was a clerk on the payroll and he was a security man

But sometimes some people are not what they seem to be

Now every cop in the land

Every government man

Bobby and Jenny with a gun in their hands

Are out and about and just looking for me
