Hey Pete Lyrics

Hey Peter
Where you going with that axe in your hand?
Hey Peter
Where you going with that axe in your hand?

I'm gonna kill my lady
Cause I caught her screwing around with some other man
I'm gonna kill my lady
Cause I caught her fucking around with some other man

Hey Peter
I heard you cut your woman down
Hey Peter
I heard you cut your woman down
Cut her down to the ground

Last night I killed my lady
Cause I caught her screwing around with every guy in town
Last night I killed my lady
Cause I caught her screwing around all over this town

Hey Peter
Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Peter
Where you gonna go?

I'll take that D-train
Take it down to Brighton Beach
To bay 7
I'll take that D-train
Take it down to Brighton Beach
Brighton Beach

I'll send my baby to heaven
I'll send my baby to heaven

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

pete's own version of the song "hey joe" i think the lines that say it all are "last night i killed my lady, cause i caught her screwing around all over this town"

im sure we've all felt it once... or will.

when someone hurt you so much that you just wish they where dead. no matter how much you loved them, they crushed this love and when you cant love them what can you do? hate them.

since love and hate are both extreme emotions, we can see why peter would want to kill 'his woman' for 'fucking around with some other man'.

oh, on the subject. "hey joe" was a great song too.
