Meeting Across the River

Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks?

Tonight, can you get us a ride?

Got to make it through the tunnel

Got a meeting with a man on the other side

Hey, Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing

So if you want to come along, you gotta promise you won't say anything

'Cause this guy don't dance

And the word's been passed this is our last chance

We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie

'Cause, man, we got ourselves out on that line

And if we blow this one

They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time

And all we gotta do is hold up our end

Here, stuff this in your pocket, it'll look like you're carrying a friend

And remember, just don't smile

Change your shirt

'Cause tonight, we got style

Well, Cherry says she's gonna walk

'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it

But, Eddie, man, she don't understand

That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket

And tonight's gonna be everything that I said

And when I walk through that door, I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed

She'll see this time I wasn't just talking

Then I'm gonna go out walking

Hey, Eddie, can you catch us a ride?
