This Old Floor

Today, my friends we stand upon these boards so old and worn They've served us well but now they're done We're pulling them up on this crisp autumn morn This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here Our footsteps wore at the finish and the bare wood started to show A faint, familiar oval From the line of dance where we've traveled the most This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here Remember the night when Ben dropped the light and it crashed with a thunderous sound? We swept up the glass, but here is the scratch A little off center and perfectly round This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here On contra night you could see that we had a slightly tilted floor Our sets would drift and our dances left Diagonal stripes from the stage to the door This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here We're finding hidden initials left for the generations to see A heart for newlyweds L and R Their daughter's granddaughter is here next to me This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here We're laying down a new floor today, adding marks near those from before So take a knife, and carve your name It'll help hold us all for a hundred years more This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here This old floor has held us a hundred years It's marked by the soles/souls of those who've gathered here
