about

Based on a true story set at the Broken Spoke, Austin, Texas' famous honky-tonk. Perfect for dancing badly or drinking well.

lyrics

Watching boot heels shuffling
Across this old dance floor
In the dirty old mirror
Behind this dirty old bar
He asks me to dance
And I say you’ll regret it
I’ve got two left feet
So I’m better off sitting

I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking
So I keep to my seat
Here under the neon
I’ve got no good reason
To be on my feet
When I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking

Sad old country songs
I keep drinking them in
While my busted old two step
Keeps keeping me sitting
Three quarter time with
A fiddle and steel
One more drink barkeep
Put it on my bill

I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking
So I keep to my seat
Here under the neon
I’ve got no good reason
To be on my feet
When I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking

I’m gonna keep basking in
The honky tonk lights
Killing my liver
Each sad lonely night
While all the young lovers
Whirl around in the glow
Living the music
As they put on a show

I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking
So I keep to my seat
Here under the neon
I’ve got no good reason
To be on my feet
When I’m bad at dancing
But good at drinking

No, I’ve got no good reason
To be on my feet
When I’m bad at dancing
But so good at drinking
