Cover art for Meeting Across the River lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Eddie and the narrator are friends who are hard up for money... (mostly the narrator though)... they are meeting in nyc to make some quick money but they can't screw around cause "this guy don't dance"... he warns eddie of the risks "if we blow this one... they ain't gonna be lookin for just me this time"... you are right gmc... the "stuff this in your pocket" is a reference to a gun... along with "change your shirt" they want to look like professionals when they have their meeting... the song closes with how the meeting will work out... the narrator is very possitive about tonight's activities...
