Yeah, he was sitting by me at the beach front bar
He seemed pretty tore up so I bought him a beer
And we lit up a couple of Cuban cigars
Well, a couple beers in we was gettin' profound
He said, "A guy like me likes the simple things
That I can wrap my head around"
I didn't know where he was going but I began to understand
When he stood up on his stool like a fool and started hollerin' at the band
So play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin'
A few about losin', lyin' and leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
And play it all night long but don't play me no love songs
Don't play me no love songs
He said, "Wait a minute man, I know who you are
Ain't, ain't you that fella on the TV in a cowboy hat always playing guitar"
I said, "Yeah that's me", I thought "Boy, there goes that"
He didn't want a CD or a picture of me autographed
No, all he asked was
Play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin'
A few about losin', lyin' and leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
And play it all night long but don't play me no love songs
Don't play me no love songs
No gonna last forever smilin', dancin', laughin'
Hey, let me hear about how it really happens
Play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin'
A few about losin', lyin' and leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
Play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin'
A few about losin', lyin' and leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
She done me wrong, don't play me no love songs
Don't play me no love songs
Don't play me no love songs
Don't play me no love songs
