Chips Ahoy  Lyrics


She put 900 dollars on the fifth horse in the sixth race
I think his name was Chips Ahoy!Came in six lengths ahead
We spent the whole next week getting high
At first I thought that she hit
On some tip that she got from some other boy
We were overjoyedI 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 worseCame 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 timeHow am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't let me touch you?
How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't even dance?How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't let me touch you?
How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't even dance?She's hard on the heart and she's soft to the touchAnd she gets migraine headaches when she does it too much

And she always does it too muchHow am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't let me touch you?
How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't even dance?How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't let me touch you?
How am I supposed to know that you're high
If you won't even dance?
And you won't even dance

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
