Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By a fountain back in Rome, I fell in love with you
In a small café 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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
The Prine and Demend 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?
