John Prine - (We're Not) The Jet Set lyrics

rate me

By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you

In a small cafe in Athens You said you loved me too

And it was April in Paris when I first held you close to me

Rome, Georgia, Athens, Texas And Paris, Tennessee

No, we're not the jet set

We're the old Chevro-let set

There's no Riviera

In Festus, Missouri

And you won't find Onassis

In Mullinville, Kansas

No, we're not the jet set

We're the old Chevro-let set

But ain't we got love

No, We're not the jet set

We're the old Chevro-let set

Our steak and martinis

Is draft beer with weenies

Our Bach and Tchaikovsky

Is Haggard and Husky

No, we're not the jet set

We're the old Chevro-let set

But ain't we got love

No, We're not the jet set

We're the old Chevro-let set

The Prine and DeMent set

Ain't the flaming suzette set

Our Bach and Tchaikovsky

Is Haggard and Husky

We're the old Chevro-let set

But ain't we got love
