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
