Lyrics
I was sitting down to breakfast in Paris Texas when a waitress caught my eye.
I liked the way she stood when she was taking an order I was hopin that she'd take mine
I went back to my paper and a minute later she was standin in front of me
I think I felt my jaw drop when she opened her mouth and said "welcome to paree''
I may never have the chance to go to France and that's ok with me Right here in Paris Texas in the heart of the west is all the French I need
Not really sure I think she said bonjour and then I asked her to marry me
She gave me oo la la and again went my jaw then she asked me back, May we?
I said sure we can we can call it a plan and you know what were going to do?
The two of us alone settled into our home and you'll be teachin me to parlez vous
In my buick Riviera we drove like a terror to vegas for our honeymoon
There was a look in her eyes as we were eating those fries, in the Eiffel tower dining room
Well it was then she said jetemme and I knew I had the girl of my dreams
I kissed her right on the lips and said our next trip is to the Quarter in New Orleans
