The Old Side of Town

(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.

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...
