This Part Of The World - The Statler Brothers

Everything that I see since I moved far away

Only serves to upset and remind me

Of a beautiful girl in a part of the world

That I tried to leave far behind me

Like the girl on the street that I happened to meet

As I was about to walk past her

She looked just like her and my heart felt a stir

So I stopped her and proceeded to ask her

What are you doin' in this part of the world

Oh, forgive me but I thought you were someone else

For a moment you looked like a girl

That I came here to forget

But you see I haven’t yet

And I won’t in this part of the world

Every car on the road’s like the one that she drove

Makes me think that she’s come to meet me

In this part of the world, just the sight of that girl

Would relieve me and cure me completely

And it happened today in the very same way

When a car just like her’s pulled beside me

With a beautiful girl so I called out to her

Hello dear, how on earth did you find me?

What are you doin' in this part of the world

Oh, forgive me but I thought you were someone else

For a moment you looked like a girl

That I came here to forget

But you see I haven’t yet

And I won’t in this part of the world…
