What Made Milwaukee Famous

But every time I start to leave, they play another song
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
