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?
