Chips Ahoy! Lyrics - Boys And Girls In America - The Hold Steady

She put nine hundred dollars 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.
