Tom T. Hall - The Old Side of Town lyrics
[Tom T. Hall - The Old Side of Town lyrics]
Ain't it strange how people change
And almost overnight
Who once was a country girl
Is now a socialite we're proud for you
But when you're through and
Seek some common ground
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes
And bowl at split's and strikes
Country music still plays on
The jukebox every night
Society is not for me
But I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
Rsvp is not for me
And black tie's not my style
I thought you'd like to know 'cause
You ain't been here for awhile
We read about your tour-de-force
We're glad you get around
But we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes
And we bowl at split's and strikes
George jones is still a hero
On the jukebox every night
Society is not for me
But I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
Babe, we miss you on the old side of town
And almost overnight
Who once was a country girl
Is now a socialite we're proud for you
But when you're through and
Seek some common ground
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes
And bowl at split's and strikes
Country music still plays on
The jukebox every night
Society is not for me
But I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
Rsvp is not for me
And black tie's not my style
I thought you'd like to know 'cause
You ain't been here for awhile
We read about your tour-de-force
We're glad you get around
But we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes
And we bowl at split's and strikes
George jones is still a hero
On the jukebox every night
Society is not for me
But I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
Babe, we miss you on the old side of town
