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.
