This ain't about hometowns
Ain't about back roads
Ain't about shoulda, coulda, wish I woulda
Rear views looking back
This ain't about goodbyes
Ain't about come-backs
Oh, got nothing to do with the stars and the moon
Man you're gettin' way off track
It's a song about a girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl
The one you can't forget

Rockin' the jeans

Dig too deep
Or read between the lines
It's a song about a girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl
The one you can't forget
Ah, blows your mind every time
You think it's gonna be a hit
It's a song about a girl, girl oh
It's a song about a girl, girl, oh, yeah

Ain't about bonfires
Ain't about souped up cars, water towers
Drowning in a bottle of Jack
