We were playing a gig back a year or so 
At some run down bar where nobody goes 
And we were rockin and a-rolling and making all kinds of noise 

There was a young man in the back with a girl at his side 
And she was looking at him with her big brown eyes 
And getting across a message without using her voice (it's crazy but they can do it) 

So he comes to the stage when we was inbetween numbers 
And he gets my attention and turns red and he mumbles 
Mister I could sure use some help 

Y'see that gal over there with the beautiful smile 
Well she's leavin for a job and I won't see her for a while 
And where this is going I'm sure you can probably tell 

But if you boys could bring it down to a three-over-four 
I could go take her hand and pull her out on the floor 
And sweep her off her feet, just like the night we met 

So I heard his plea and I turned to the band 
And they all agreed with a wave of a hand 
So I grabbed the mic and this is what I said 

Well I got bad bad news to break 
It's such a shame you brought your date 
Oh sonny we don't play no slow songs 
So you're gonna have to sit and wait 

Well just a few weeks later us five were back together 
Playing outside in the bright sunny weather 
And they was lined up to see us like lambs to the slaughter 

It was a swanky little shindig, they were pouring champagne 
I was having a good time until someone complained 
Excuse me, I've just been married and I'd like a dance with my father 

So I said dance with him now and she shook her head no 
I want you to play something nice and slow 
And sweet that'll bring a tear to my eye 

So I took her by the hand real kindly and gentle 
Cuz I could tell the poor thing was a bit temperamental 
And I told her something that made her feathers fly 

Well I got bad bad news to break 
You don't need on your wedding day 
Oh honey we don't play no slow songs 
So you might as well go cut your cake 

Just the other night about quarter past three 
We was lying on the couch my old lady and me 
And she gets this look in her eye made me think I done something wrong 

She was asking me a question prodding at me with her feet 
And I could barely pay attention cuz I was half asleep 
Until I realized she wanted me to play her a song 

I'd hardly sat up she put the guitar in my hand 
Said lover I'm your woman and you're my man 
And it's high time you put your heart to words 

So I played the first thing that came to mind 
And in four short bars she was already cryin' 
Cuz booooy lemme tell you folks the truth hurts! 

Said I got bad bad news to break 
You shouldn't have stayed up so late 
Oh darlin I don't play no slow songs 
So you might've made a big mistake 

And I got bad bad news to break 
To the entire U S of A 
We never play no gall darn slow songs 
So get on your feet and start to shake
