Slow Songs

They cut and milled hardwood lumber
Way back in late '80s summer
Shipped it out to West Texas
And dug the ground here, next to us
For a dance floor empty as your heart
Well, it might be a good place to start

For a girl drinkin' all alone
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
For a dimly lit room to an old-fashioned tune
For a guy and a girl and a bar room floor
That's what they wrote the slow songs for

Ain't a night you can't put on the rocks
Ain't a thing he did you can't get over
But with the dance floor under your feet
And your blue eyes staring up at me
And you're buzzing stronger than neon
It's the only way to just move on

For a girl drinkin' all alone
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
For a dimly lit room to an old fashioned tune
For a guy and a girl and a bar room floor
That's what they wrote the slow songs for
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

For a girl drinkin' all alone
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
For a dimly lit room to an old fashioned tune
For a guy and a girl and a bar room floor
That's what they wrote the slow songs for

For a guy and a girl and a barroom floor
That's what they wrote the slow songs for
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
