Lyrics Iris DeMent

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, 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

We're the old Chevrolet set

But ain't we got love
