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

(We're Not) The Jet Set

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, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
Theres no riviera
In festus, missouri
And you wont find onassis
In mullinville, kansas
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
But aint we got love
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weenies
Our bach and tchaikovsky
Is haggard and husky
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
But aint we got love
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
The prine and dement set
Aint the flaming suzette set
Our bach and tchaikovsky
Is haggard and husky
Were the old chevro-let set
But aint we got love
