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
