(Tom T. Hall)
Ain't it strange how people change and almost over night
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 we bowl at splits and strikes
Country music still plays on a jukebox every night
Society is not for me but I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town.
--- Instrumental ---
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 splits and strikes
Country music still plays on a 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...
Ain't it strange how people change and almost over night
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 we bowl at splits and strikes
Country music still plays on a jukebox every night
Society is not for me but I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town.
--- Instrumental ---
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 splits and strikes
Country music still plays on a 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...
