The Statler Brothers – This Part Of The World lyrics

(Lew DeWitt)

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...
