I never wanted to get you down

Or start you up

I tried to bet on your winsom frown

With sad Irish luck

I never thought you would wake me up

And take me out

I wanted to feel anything from you

Even a handsome doubt



All I wanted was going home

All they gave me was Louisville

I don't want love or conquered Rome

Just your voice and a sleeping pill

Louisville

Louisville



I'm gonna trade in Friday nights

For a piece of your heart

Me, you and bourbon beating

Down in Echo Park

I never wanted to keep you up

Or leave you alone

Cell phones and stars only tease you

They never take you home



All I wanted was going home

All they gave me was Louisville

I don't want love or conquered Rome

Just your voice and a sleeping pill

Louisville

Louisville



I wanna make my mind

I wanna waste all your time

I'll be forever your thief

You sweep me on my feet

My feet



I never wanted to get you down

Or start you up

You know you could turn my luck around

With a touch



All I wanted was going home

All they gave me was Louisville

I don't want love or conquered Rome

Just your voice and a sleeping pill

Louisville

Louisville
