Old 97s - The One lyrics

I gotta check for nothing

All made out to someone

I truly love myself

Murray says we’re gonna take the money sometime

Well it might as well be this time

We’re gonna spend it all on ourselves

Ken picked this bank at random

I said, do we shoot them?

And he said, either way’s alright

Whistlin’ Boy, that’s Philip, he’s our drummer

He does the them from “Endless Summer”

You know he’s waiting out in our ride

Throw the money in the bag

It all worked out just like we planned

Now the good times have begun

That’s not a fire -- it’s just the sun

It’s like the old man said

Take the money and run

What’s the rush?

Let’s take The One

Love gets passed around so freely

They’re so touchy and so feely

I’m hanging on to mine

I like you California

Although I feel the urge to warn ya

We’re gonna rob you blind

What’s the point in cutting tracks

With all this money in the back?

Now the good times have begun

That’s not a fire -- it’s just the sun

It’s like the old man said

Take the money and run

What’s the rush?

Let’s take The One
