Everyone agrees, a little money helps to please,
|
But I just took so much of it, I'm shakin' at the knees
|
And we've gotta leave this town.
|
We've had a heavy day, but the law want us to stay,
|
We told them "Thanks a lot, but we've just got to get away"
|
And we've gotta leave right now!
|
There's a place I gotta be, and time won't wait for me
|
But I gotta make it alone
|
I can see the river wind, and hear the guns behind
|
We gotta move, we gotta run,
|
away from what we've done.
|
|
Only yesterday I was lazing in the sun,
|
Makin' out with bar-room queens and boozing like a bum
|
Now we've gotta leave this town
|
It don't seem really fair, but then thinkin' of my share,
|
I guess it can't be bad, 'cos I must be a millionaire,
|
So we've gotta leave right now.
|
There's a place I gotta go where nobody'll know
|
And I've gotta make it alone
|
I can see the hills ahead, and the skyline turning red ....
|
|
Now I'm crawling down the street with an independent air,
|
Feeling good from being loose, so we ain't got a care
|
And feeling like settling down
|
But someone starts to stare, and he jumps up from his chair,
|
Before he gets to make a sound, I'm sitting on my mare
|
And we've gotta leave right now
|
|
I don't know where to go, and I'm feeling pretty low
|
But I've gotta make it alone
|
And as I turn around, I can see a dusty cloud ....
|
|
We gotta move, we gotta run,
|
Away from what we've done
|
We gotta move, we gotta run,
|
All the way to Monte Carlo.
