Dont play me hearts & flowers dont make me sit thru that
dont play no steel guitar songs by cowboys in white hats
where the hero lives on barstools wondering where she's at
always broken hearted now that baby's dumped him flat

and somewhere in the chorus you get that bar room scene
where the fool drops all his quarters in a chrome juke box machine
and he's weaving down the trail of life forever looking back
Dont play me hearts & flowers like I need to hear all that

Dont start no old time fiddle makin with that moan
I'll get them old time memories and I dont need that at all
stifle that 5 string banjo keep them flowers on the wall
Dont play me hearts & flowers I dont need that y'all

Dont play me hearts & flowers thanks but no thank you
I spent too many hours with blue tears & love untrue
Jim Beam & Johnnie Walker and Old Milwaukee brew
Dont play me hearts & flowers I'll play that one for you

Dont play me hearts & flowers I'll play that one for you
Dont play me hearts & flowers I'll play that one for you ...
