This is a song about Grifters on the run and how they are one stop away from getting out of the game. The conversation are the lyrics.
lyrics
Hey Hey Yeah
Words & Music Chris Thompson
She said I'm so sick and tired of the waiting
Putting her jewelry back in the drawer
She said I'm so sick and tired of the wanting
How can I ask for anything more
Hey Hey Yeah
Hey Hey Yeah
She said I'm so sick and tired of the nightlife
We all just want to be part of the show
She said I'm so sick and tire of the low low light
Can't see the answers I really should know
Hey Hey Yeah
Hey Hey Yeah
When you think about all that could've been done
24 days we've been on the run
One more stop and we get away
Had it all planned right down to the teeth
Took by surprise from underneath
One more stop and we sail away
She said I need to start getting up early
Get a good head start on the day
She said I need to start living the half life
Taking the time to hear what you say
Hey Hey Yeah
Hey Hey Yeah
When you think about all that could've been done
24 days we've been on the run
One more stop and we get away
Had it all planned right down to the teeth
Took by surprise from underneath
One more stop and we sail away
