Song of the Day (229): (We’re Not) The Jet Set – John Prine and Iris Dement

Song of the Day (229) - (We’re Not) The Jet Set by John Prine and Iris Dement

A classic country love song that plays up a basic lifestyle against the ostentatiousness of the wealthy: 

No, we’re not the jet set 

We’re the old Chevro-let set 

Our steak and martinis 

Is draft beer with weenies 

Our Bach and Tchaikovsky 

Is Haggard and Husky 

Written by Bobby Braddock, George Jones and Tammy Wynette made it a hit on the country charts in 1974. Twenty-five years later, John Prine and Iris Dement gave us this charmer.
