Love ain't what this song's about
Candlelight ain't what I'm in the mood for now
I don't need a metaphor to help me get this out

Love ain't what this song's about

It's about beer and whiskey and drinkin

It's about playin the fool and actin without thinkin
It's about runnin with your buddies you don't give a damn
What in the world happens to you man

Oh love ain't what this song's about

Cryin ain't what you're gonna hear

You won't have any salty tears drownin in your beer
If you're feelin down then friend you'd better just steer clear
Cryin ain't what you're gonna hear


It's about wine and women and song
It's about doin one thing and make sure you do it wrong

It's about givin in to your deepest desire
Settin the whole damn world on fire
Cryin ain't what you're gonna hear


Love ain't what this song's about
Candlelight ain't what I'm in the mood for now

I don't need a metaphor to help me get this out
Love ain't what this song's about


It's about beer and whiskey and drinkin
It's about playin the fool and actin without thinkin
It's about runnin with your buddies you don't give a damn

What in the world happens to you man
Oh love ain't what this song's about


Love ain't what this song's about
The world's got you trapped and friend there's no way out
Just give in to your deepest desires

Set the whole damn world on fire
Love ain't what this song's about
