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
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, yeah
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

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.
