Well, he was sitting by me, at the beach front bar
He seem pretty tore up so I bought him a beer and we lit up a couple Cuban cigars
Well, a couple beers in, we were getting profound
He said "A guy like me likes the simple things that I can wrap my head around"
I didnt know where he was going but I began to understand
When he stood up on his stool like a fool and started holering at the band:

"So play me something about drinking, one about cheating, a few about losing, lying and a-leaving
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
And play it all night long
But don't play me no love song
Don't play me no love song"

He said "Wait a minute man, I know who you are
Aint, aint 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 didnt want a cd or a picture of me autographed, no all he asked was

Just play me something about drinking, one about cheating, a few about losing, lying and a-leaving
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
And play it all night long
But don't play me no love song
Don't play me no love song

No gonna last forever, smiling, dancing, laughing
Hey, let me hear about how it really happened

Play me something about drinking, one about cheating, a few about losing, lying and a-leaving
Something where somebody did somebody wrong

Play me something about drinking, one about cheating, a few about losing, lying and a-leaving
Something where somebody did somebody wrong
Oh, she done me wrong
Don't play me no love song
Don't play me no love song
