When Willie met Ronnie he was runnin' up a trackHe was bent down, burned out, carryin' a sackCome on boy, you got to stop and help me someAnd keep this money hidden when the police comeRonnie was shiverin' and makin' funny soundsHe was lookin' like a foxThat was runnin' from the houndsSure little buddy, I can lighten up your loadYou half it up, I'll hit it up, I'll take it down the roadNever had a better combination been planned'Cos Willie was a roadie with a rock 憂?roll bandThey were heads back, celebratin', drinkin' moonshineHeads down, here we go across another state lineTanked up and bullet proofThey couldn't give a monkey'sDamn if he didn't hide the money in a drum case Pack 'em up, hit em up, do another showThe robber and the roadie got a long way to goWillie and RonnieAnytime they wanted they would pull another jobAnywhere they found a placeAnd it was fat enough to robIf Ronnie saw the police he would make a little signThen Willie stuck the money in the band's back lineIn the main racks, bass stacksAnywhere he thought it couldBe hidden out of sightUntil the finished out in HollywoodSplit it down the middleWhen they took it out the soundThe robber and the roadie got enough to go aroundWillie and RonnieThe robber and the roadieForty seven days and they had only one to goWhen the telegram arivedTo say the band wouldn't showThe crowd was getting' nasty and it turned into a rageThe bottles and the bodies started coverin' the stageThen the cops came running inAnd breaking up the riotin'When they saw the money fallingOut the back of everythingHey little buddy think it's time to run and duckThe robber and the roadie could be runnin' out of luckWillie and Ronnie had to skip it out of townThey were sittin' by the highway like Jackson BrowneThey were stickin' out their thumbsIn the middle of the nightWhen they saw the car comin' with the spinnin' red lightWide eyed, tongue tied feelin' pretty strandedNo use in runnin' they were caught red handedPull 'em in, lock 'em up, put 'em in a rowThe robber and the roadie got nowhere to goWillie and RonnieThe robber and the roadieWe got state police and the FBIWillie and RonnieYou get a big rewardIf you can make these boy's mamas cryThe robber and the roadieWe got the national guard and the bear in the skyWillie and RonnieYou get a big reward if you can make these mothers cryThe robber and the roadie
