Paradise Bar · Deep Purple

It was later in September and the leaves were on the ground
A night chill in the autumn air as I pushed the pedal down
The road was thick, I drove too quick, lost it on the bend
I overtook the future way beyond the bitter end
I'm in Paradise
An old man in the pickup truck offered me a ride
Somehow he knew where I was going, invited me inside
He floored me with a weird look, said "Let's go find a bar"
The band is pretty good with Jimi Hendrix on guitar
I'm in Paradise
Head to Paradise bar
You have to cry no tear
Oh baby, I'm alright here
They say, "Don't ever go there, you'll end up down below"
Didn't quite turn out that way, but how would they know?
And so we rent some town where the drinks are all for free
My Paradise is everything I wanted it to be
I'm in Paradise
