The Hold Steady - Southtown Girls Lyrics

Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay

Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay

Take Lyndale to the horizon
Take Nicollet out to the ocean
Take Penn Ave out to the 494
And meet me right in front of the fabric store

Don't look me in the eye, look over at the theater
I'm a little bit surprised, you didn't tell me there'd be three of you
Hey Bloomington, what'd you let them do to you?
Now I think they're almost through with you

Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay

Take Lyndale back to the southside
Take Nicollet up to the Vietnamese
Take Penn Ave back up to the northside
Take Lowery East to the quarry

Meet me right in front of the Rainbow Foods, I got a brown paper bag and black buckle shoes
And if anything seems weird then just cruise
Meet me right in front of the Party City, that two-sided tape it gets way too sticky
I got a bad case of noisemaker blues

Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay

Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
Southtown girls won't blow you away
But you know that they'll stay
