[Verse 1] Drank booze from bowls Sang "Dixie" out of tune Missed a football game on Sunday Pa**ed out at noon I wanted to hit the town But the town, it hit me It's been knocking me down Since I was 19 [Chorus] Meet me in Paris Or Fort Wayne Everywhere I go A bartender knows my name [Verse 2] Hello, my remedy Goodbye, memory When last call comes Don't call For Jonny I'll have a Texas tea Whatever that means Just put back in What comes out of me You can't cut me off I've still got an hour Just give it to me straight Forget about the sour [Chorus] Meet me in Paris Or Fort Wayne Everywhere I go
A bartender knows my name [Verse 3] I've got a tattoo on my wrist That says "whiskey" When last call comes Don't call For Jonny Been 30 days of Reading the Big Book at night I'm still not sure If I've seen the light I dream't I swam across that lake Like Slowhand did before Got loaded at a bar Then hit a liquor store A pink elephant Waved his trunk at me I'm shaking through my Final fit of the DTs [Chorus] Meet me in Paris Or Fort Wayne Everywhere I go A bartender knows my name [Outro] Sweet home, Milwaukee Is where I wanna be When last call comes Don't call For Jonny
