Old 97's Lyrics

"The One" lyrics


I've
Got a check for nothing
All made out to someone
I truly love myself
Murry 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 all right."
Whistling boy, that's Philip, he's our drummer
He does the theme from "Endless Summer"
You know he's waiting out in our ride

Throw the money in the van
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
But what's the rush?
Let's take the One
Let's take the One

Love
It gets passed around so freely
They're so touchy and so feely
I'm a-hangin' on to mine
I, I
Like you, California
Although I feel obliged to warn ya
Well, we're gonna rob you blind

What's the point of 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
But what's the rush?
Let's take the One
Let's take the One
Let's take the One
Let's take the One
