Over deze songtekst:
Geschreven door Bruce Springsteen voor het album Born to run uit 1975. Het verscheen ook als B-kantje van de single Born to run, het titelnummer van gelijknamige album. Het nummer gaat over een crimineel die zich in nesten heeft gewerkt.

Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks And tonight can you get us a ride Gotta 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?
