Lyrics
Paris France don't look as lovely, without you here
These Business trips that I must make, once or twice a year.
I walk along the Champs-Elysees
In the pouring rain.
Id rather be, back in Texas again.
Chorus: I want to be in Texas tonight, I want to see that desert sky so blue. I want to be in Texas tonight, in Paris Texas with you.
And the city of lights don't shine so bright as the moonlight in your eyes, and the Lone Star State is a better place with someone like you living there
I want to be in Texas tonight
I want to see that desert sky so blue. I want to be in Texas tonight, in Paris Texas with you.
Paris France is awfully cold
this time of year.
And colder still is this hotel bed, without you near.
I walk along the Champs-Elysees in the pouring rain.
Id rather be back in Texas again.
Chorus:
I want to be in Texas Tonight
I want to see that Desert sky so blue. I want to be in Texas tonight, in Paris Texas with you.
Bridge: And the city of lights
it don't shine so bright as the moonlight in your eyes.
And the Lone Star State is a better place with someone like you living there.
Repeat chorus:
