Wait for Me
The BossHoss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The warden in my way, oh Lord, I'll make them pay
I got me a gun, stole a police car
Broke right through the gates, pedal to the floor
Away, away on the way to my baby
Away, away and I know she will wait for me
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away on the way to my baby
Away, away and I know she will wait for me
In a hurry, on the flight
No place to run or hide
Robbed the bank was hard up for cash
Got myself some cocaine and hash
The whole night I felt sick and ill
Too much drugs, booze, too much pills
But I decided not to die
Cheat the devil with my evil eye
Away, away on the way to my baby
Away, away and I know she will wait for me
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away on the way to my baby
Away, away and I know she will wait for me
Crash the car into a gas station
Let this motherfucker burn
Jump through the plains, shouting out my baby's name
Got myself into trouble, but I won't give in
Smashed a church door, menaced the priest to take away my sins
Away, away, I will pray
Say, it will be the devil who will wait for me
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away on the way to my baby
Away, away and I know she will wait for me
And I know she will wait for me
And I know she will wait for me
The BossHoss's song "Wait for Me" tells the story of a man on the run from the law. He has broken out of jail and is racing to see his beloved. The opening verse describes the daring escape as the man steals a police car and crashes through the gates of the prison. Despite facing the warden's wrath, he is determined to make it to his love. The chorus declares his mission and his confidence that she will wait for him.
The second verse finds the man on the run, desperate for money and drugs. He robs a bank and makes a reckless decision to take cocaine and hash to keep going. The chorus returns, emphasizing the determination needed to be reunited with his love.
The final verse sees the man reaching the end of his journey. He crashes the stolen car at a gas station and flees on foot. Determined not to be caught, he threatens a priest and ultimately defies the devil himself in his quest to reach his love.
Overall, "Wait for Me" is a rollicking tale of love and desperation. The man is willing to do whatever it takes to be with his beloved, even if it means breaking the law and defying the forces of evil.
