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
