"Hardwood Floor" is a composition by Robby Krieger that appeared on The Doors' 1972 album Full Circle, released on Elektra Records. The album was the second and final studio recording by the post-Jim Morrison lineup of The Doors, featuring Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and John Densmore. On this track, Krieger plays harmonica, an instrument he employed on several Doors recordings alongside his primary role as guitarist. The composition is part of the exploratory, genre-diverse body of work that characterized Full Circle, an album on which the remaining Doors members experimented with a wider range of styles and instrumental textures than they had on their Morrison-era releases. Krieger's songwriting contributions to The Doors spanned the band's entire career, from iconic singles like "Light My Fire" and "Love Me Two Times" to deeper album cuts, and "Hardwood Floor" falls into the latter category. The track reflects the band's willingness to venture beyond their established sound during their final period of activity, before disbanding later in 1972. Like much of the Full Circle material, the composition has remained relatively obscure, overshadowed by The Doors' classic catalog and not widely covered or performed by other artists. It stands as a minor entry in Krieger's extensive songwriting output but offers a look at the band's late-period creative explorations.
