Hey Hey
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
They put your soul on ice
They want a piece of the action
But they never
let you roll the dice.
That's the kind of woman
Bring a good man down
That's the kind of woman
I don't want around
Hey hey.
I got a woman that dances
She knows how to jump and shout
Now she don't wanna use me
'Cause she knows
how it wears me out.
Yeah, she's the woman
With the magic touch
She don't want to lose me
'Cause she loves me too much
Hey hey.
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me.
Yeah, she knows how to please me
She knows how to set me free.
Get off of that couch
Turn off that M.T.V.
Get off of that couch
Turn off your M.T.V.
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me.
Hey Hey
Neil Young's "Hey Hey" stands as a quintessential example of his raw, acoustic folk-rock style, often associated with his work on the *Mystery Train* project.

Released within the context of his broader discography, the song exemplifies Young's ability to distill complex personal narratives into concise, resonant musical statements. It remains a staple in his catalog, illustrating his enduring influence on the folk-rock genre and his commitment to authentic, unvarnished performance. The recording serves as a testament to his ability to connect deeply with listeners through straightforward instrumentation and honest songwriting.
