Robber And The Roadie

When Willie met Ronnie he was runnin' up a track
He was bent down, burned out, carryin' a sack
Come on boy, you got to stop and help me some
And keep this money hidden when the police come

Ronnie was shiverin' and makin' funny sounds
He was [Am7]lookin' like [F]a fox
That was [Am7]ɾunnin' from the hounds
Sure little buddy, I can lighten up your load

You half it up, I'll hit it up, I'll take it down the ɾoad

Never had a better combination [C7]been planned
'Cause Willie was [Am7]a ɾoadie with a ɾock 'n' ɾoll band
They were heads back, celebratin', drinkin' moonshine
Heads down, here we go across another state line

Tanked up and [Bm]bullet proof
They couldn't give a monkey's
Damn if he didn't hide the money in a drum case
Pack 'em [A]up, hit em [A]up, do another show

The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie got [Fm7]a long [Am]way to [C7]go

Willie and [Bm]Ronnie

Anytime they wanted they would pull another job
Anywhere they found a place
And it was [Am7]fat enough to [C7]ɾob
If Ronnie saw the police he would make a little sign

Then Willie stuck the money in the band's back line
In the main ɾacks, bass stacks
Anywhere he thought it could
Be hidden out of sight

Until the finished out in Hollywood
Split it down the middle
When they took it out the sound
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie got [Fm7]enough to [C7]go around

Willie and [Bm]Ronnie
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie

Forty seven days and [Bm]they had only one to [C7]go
When the telegram arived
To say the band [Bm]wouldn't show
The crowd was [Am7]getting' nasty and [Bm]it turned into [C7]a ɾage

The bottles and [Bm]the bodies started coverin' the stage
Then the cops came ɾunning in
And breaking up the ɾiotin'
When they saw the money falling

Out the back of everything
Hey little buddy think it's time to [C7]ɾun and [Bm]duck
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie could be [Am]ɾunnin' out of luck

Willie and [Bm]Ronnie had to [C7]skip it out of town
They were sittin' by the highway like [F]Jackson [C7]Browne
They were stickin' out their thumbs
In the middle of the night

When they saw the car comin' with the spinnin' ɾed light
Wide eyed, tongue tied feelin' pretty stɾanded
No use in ɾunnin' they were caught ɾed handed
Pull 'em [A]in, lock 'em [A]up, put 'em [A]in a ɾow
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie got [Fm7]nowhere to [C7]go

Willie and [Bm]Ronnie
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie

We got [Fm7]state police and [Bm]the FBI
Willie and [Bm]Ronnie
You get a big ɾeward
If you [A7can make these boy's mamas cry
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie
We got [Fm7]the national guard and [Bm]the bear in the sky

Willie and [Bm]Ronnie
You get a big ɾeward if you [A7can make these mothers cry
The ɾobber and [Bm]the ɾoadie
