[Intro] x2
[Verse 1]
They cut and nailed hardwood lumber
Way back in a late 80âs summer
Shipped it off 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
[Chorus]
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 ballroom floor
Thatâs what they wrote the slow songs for
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Aint a night you cant put on the rocks
Aint a thing he did you cant get over
But with the dance floor under your feet and your blue eyes staring up at me
And your buzzin stronger than neon
(Drop Out)
Itâs the only way to just move on
[Chorus]
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 ballroom floor
Thatâs what they wrote the slow songs for
[Instrumental] x2
[Build Chorus]
For a girl, drinkin all alone
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
[All in]
For a dimly lit room
To an old fashioned tune
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Thatâs what they wrote the slow songs for
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Ab (Only Down Stroke)
Thatâs what they wrote the slow songs for
[Outro] x2
