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 was gettin' profound
He said "A guy like me likes the simple things that II 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 holerin' at the band:

[Chorus:]

"So play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin', a few about losin', lyin' and a-leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong, and play it all night long
But dont play me no lo oh oh ove song
Dont play me no love song"

He said "Wait a minute man, I know who you are
Aintaint 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 ?

[Chorus:]

Just play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin', a few about losin', lyin' and a-leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong, and play it all night long
But dont play me no lo oh oh ove song
Dont play me no love song

No gonna last forever, smilin', dancin', laughin'
Hey let me hear about how it really happened

Play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin', a few about losin', lyin' and a-leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong,

Play me something about drinkin', one about cheatin', a few about losin', lyin' and a-leavin'
Something where somebody did somebody wrong, Oh she done me wrong
But dont play me no lo oh oh ove song
Dont play me no lo oh oh ove song [x3]
