“Good Shoes, Bad Floor” lyrics

Hell, we came a little overdressed
Good shoes, bad floor

You wore the silver earrings
I wore the shirt you bought
We heard a fiddle through the screen
And turned into the lot
Somebody moved the cooler
You put your purse down there
I tried to keep my shoes clean
You pulled me from that chair

Quit fixing that collar
Come mess it up with me

Good shoes, bad floor
Heel marks by the screen door
Good shoes, bad floor
Ain't what we dressed up for

Ain't what we dressed up for
Good shoes, bad floor

Your heel caught in a floorboard
You laughed and pulled it free
You set those shoes beside my chair
And slid back up to me
The guy who said he don't dance
Is trying to teach us both
He's making all that shit up
But there he goes, there he goes

Good shoes, bad floor
Heel marks by the screen door
Good shoes, bad floor
Ain't what we dressed up for

That fancy place can keep our table
Fuck it, let 'em keep the view
I spent an hour fixing this collar
You like it loose, I never knew

Good shoes, bad floor
Bare feet by the screen door
Good shoes, bad floor
Ain't what we dressed up for

Ain't what we dressed up for
Good shoes, bad floor
