V1.
Sometimes lips get loose with liquor
We said some things we didn’t mean
But the reaction that you gave me
Ain’t one I’ve ever seen
I’m not sure what tripped your trigger
But I know I ain’t that guy
You’re gonna have to spend the night time
Just wondering why

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

V2
When I walked away
You screamed don’t you even care.
But if you knew me like I know me
You’d know I don’t fight fair
It’s Cos I care much more about you
Than I care about a “win”
And losing you…
… Would be a sin.

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

Bridge
I’ll always trade my silence
Instead of going toe to toe
‘Cos you never know how far it’s gonna go

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

I’m a lover not a fighter





I'm A Lover Not A Fighter (2025)

Sun comes up on a cotton field road,
Barefoot girl where the wildflowers grow.
Straw hat, blue jeans, hair in curls,
She’s a little bit of country, a whole lot of world.
Got a rust-covered truck and a heart so free,
Knows every love song, sings 'em sweet to me.
She don’t need glitter or fancy swirls,
Just a sunset sky and a barefoot twirl.
A woman without freckles is like a night without stars,
Like a sky without the moon, like a song without a heart.
Every little dot’s got a story to tell,
Like kisses from the sun that she wears - so well.
Summer tan lines and a strawberry grin,
Spining in the creek as the world melts in.
She’s got dirt on her hands and light in her eyes,
And those freckles shine like fireflies.
Ain’t tryin’ to change her, wouldn’t even dare,
She’s perfect just the way she is, wild and rare.
Like a midnight sky scattered with light,
Those freckles make her shine so bright.
A woman without freckles is like a night without stars,
Like a sky without the moon, like a song without a heart.
Every little dot’s got a story to tell,
Like kisses from the sun that she wears so well.
So here’s to my girl with a sun-kissed face,
Every little freckle in its perfect place.
They light up the world, no matter where they are,
‘Cause a woman without freckles is like a night without stars.


A Woman Without Freckles Is Like A Night Without Stars
