the old side of town

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 splits 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 splits 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
