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

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
