Southtown Girls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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?
I think they're almost through with you.
Southtown girls wont 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.
If anything seems wierd 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 wont blow you away
But you know that they'll stay.
