The Hold Steady - Chips Ahoy! lyrics

rate me

She put $900 on the fifth horse in the sixth race i think its name is "chips ahoy!" it came in six lengths ahead, we spent the whole next week getting high at first i thought that she hit off some tip that she got from some other boy we were overjoyed wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh i got a girl and she don't have to work she can tell which horse is gonna finish in first some nights the painkillers make the pain even worse came in six lengths ahead we spent the whole next week getting high i love this girl but i can't tell when she's having a good time how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you? (wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance? (wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you? (wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance? (wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh) she's hard on the heart and she's soft to the touch she gets migraine headaches when she does it too much she always does it too much how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you? (wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance? (wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you? (wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh) how am i supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance? (wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh) and you won't even dance
