Song Description
Feel-good honky-tonk anthem about dancing through the pain.
A couple's love has weathered some storms, but tonight they're kicking off the dust, slipping into their boots, and heading to the local bar to chase away their blues one two-step at a time. This song blends heartache and hope with classic country swagger.

Lyrics
(Intro - Instrumental)
(Verse 1)
Hey there, darlin', what's that you say?
You're tired of sittin' around all day
Put on your boots, let's go downtown
We'll find a bar where the fiddle owns the sound
(Chorus)
Dancin' shoes and heartache blues
Baby, that's how we'll make it through
Hand in hand, we'll twirl around
Lose our troubles in this honky-tonk town
(Instrumental break)
(Verse 2)
Remember nights when love was new?
We danced so close, just me and you
Life's been tough, but darling, hear me out
A two-step is what we need; there ain't no doubt
(Chorus)
Dancin' shoes and heartache blues
Baby, that's how we'll make it through
Hand in hand, we'll twirl around
Lose our troubles in this honky-tonk town
(Bridge)
Maybe we've got scars, a past that's bruised
But while we're dancin', we've got nothin' to lose
We'll find our rhythm, get back in the groove
Let the dance floor testify to what we're made of
(Chorus)
Dancin' shoes and heartache blues
Baby, that's how we'll make it through
Hand in hand, we'll twirl around
Lose our troubles in this honky-tonk town
(Outro - Instrumental)
Yeah, dancin' shoes and heartache blues
Ain't no blues we can't outdance in this town
