I never wanted to get you down
Start you up
I tried the bid on your winsome frown
Set Irish love

I never thought you would wake me up
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 to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville

I'm wanna trade in Friday nights
For a piece of your heart
Me and you and burbon beating 
Down in Echo Park

I never wanted to keep you up
Leave you alone
Cell phones and stars gonna tease you
they never take you home

All I wanted was going home 
All they gave me was Louisville
I don't want love to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville

I want to make up my mind
I wanna waste all your time
I'll be forever your thief
Sweep me off my feet
Sweep me off my feet

I never wanted to get you down
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 to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville
