(We're Not) The Jet Set Lyrics
By a fountain back in Rome
I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in Athens
You said you loved me too
(G.J)
And it was April in Paris
When I first held you close to me
(T.W)
Rome, Georgia
Athens, Texas
And Paris, Tennessee
No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
There's no Riviera
In Festus, Missouri
And you won't find Onasis
In Mullinville, Kansas
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?
No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weiners
Our Bach and Tschaikowsky
Is Haggard and Husky
No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
The Jones and Wynette set
Ain't the flamin' suzette set
FADES-
Our Bach and Tschaikowsky
Is Haggard n'...(fades out)
I fell in love with you

We're the old Chevrolet set

We're the old Chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?
We're the old Chevrolet set

No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set

This songwriting is so brilliant. I absolutely love this song. It's sweet and funny. The John Prine / Iris Dement cover is great, too, but I love the original George Jones and Tammy Wynette version best.
