Lyrics
I was drivin' one evenin' through the town of Paris, Texas, Lookin' for a place to spend the night, When I saw a red gumball flashin' in my mirror That seemed to me a most unwelcome sight. When I asked if there's a problem the officer informed me That I'd gone and driven through a red stop sign. The next words that I heard, “Let's see your driver's license”, Sent a cold chill up and down my spine.
Well, my license'd been suspended, and that's just what I told him. He nodded, and he acted real polite. Then he offered me the backseat, and he drove me to the hoosegow Where I was told that I would spend the night.
Chorus: Then they booked me in a room at the downtown Paris Hilton. My room is 8 by 10 and has no view. Now I lie upon my back, just starin' at the ceiling And waitin' 'til the sun comes shinin' through.
When I finally got to court, the judge said, “Please excuse me, But I think I've seen you here one time before. It's time you learned your lesson, and so you have my blessin' To enjoy our hospitality once more.” Chorus: For the next 30 days I'm at the downtown Paris Hilton. My room is 8 by 10 and has no view. Now I lie upon my back, just starin' at the ceiling And waitin' 'til the sun comes shinin' through.
