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 b**
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.
