This Part Of The World Lyrics - 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
