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
