Story Behind The Song
Saw the movie Paris Texas. Thought about using Paris in a song lyric.
Note: Champs-Elysees was not pronounced properly by the demo singer, it should be pronounced (Shawnsaleesay)
I see this song in a country video

Lyrics
Paris
VERSE (1)
Paris France don't look so 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
I'd 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(1)
And the city of lights they 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:
Verse (2)
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
I'd rather be back in Texas again
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
