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

Artist: John Prine

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Robert Valentin Braddock

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 chevrolet 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 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 weenies
Our bach and Tchaikovsky 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 Prine and Dement set, ain't the flaming Suzette set
Our bach and Tchaikovsky is haggard and husky
No, we're not the jet set, we're the old chevrolet set
But ain't we got love
