I Don’t Believe in Love Lyrics

Funny thing about love

It's like that first sip of Tennessee whiskey

Sweet at the start, but it burns going down

I've tried it all

High school promises, wedding vows

Even chasing dreams through Nashville nights

But somehow, love and I

We just don't see eye to eye anymore

So, here's my story

A heart worn thin

And a bottle that never lets me down

First time I said "I love you" was in high school's faded glow

A Chevy parked by the river, her hand in mine real slow

Thought we'd last forever, but forever came too soon

Found her kissing my best friend beneath a Tennessee moon

That was strike one, and it stung like hell

The start of a story I'd learn to tell

I don't believe in love, not the way I used to do

It's a flame that burns, then fades to blue

From the halls of my youth to a Nashville bar

I've chased that dream, but it's left me scarred

Now whiskey's my only friend tonight

'Cause love always leaves me losing the fight

Married young to a girl with a smile so bright

Thought we'd conquer the world, make it all alright

But the bills stacked high, and the laughter wore thin

She packed up her bags while I drowned in gin

Tried to fix it, but the damage was done

Another love story lost in the sun

I don't believe in love, not the way I used to do

It's a promise that breaks, a heart left askew

From a Chevy in the dark to a courthouse door

It's a battle I've fought but can't win anymore

Now whiskey's my solace, my shelter, my light

'Cause love just ain't worth the fight

I've given my heart to the wrong ones it seems

Chased pretty faces and impossible dreams

I've given my heart to the wrong ones it seems

Chased pretty faces and impossible dreams
