Hey Hey
Reids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'mon, if you need a little rhythm to shake away the blues
If you wanna knock the shine off your brand new shoes
All you gotta do is leave your troubles at the door
One thing I can tell you, you don't need 'em anymore

Singin', hey, hey o
Singin', hey, hey, hey, o
(Now) take a look to your left
(Now) take a look to your right
Everybody here is a friend tonight

You can pull up in a pick-up, roll up in a Benz
No matter how you get here just come on in
We'll make a little room, everybody's got a place
All we gotta do is put a smile up on your face

Life can be so complicated, kinda has a way
Of makin' you believe it's all work and no play
It's never too late, it's never too soon
To get your motor runnin', start howlin' at the moon





Take a look to your left, take a look to your right
Everybody here is a friend tonight, yeah
