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
