I never wanted to get you down or start you up
I tried to bet on your winsome 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 up my mind
I wanna waste all your time
I'll be forever your thief
Sweep me on 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
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville
