Song Lyrics

She`s been playing in a room on a strip
For ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror
But she only ages
She`s been reading about Nashville and all
The records that everybody`s buying
Says `I`m a simple girl myself
Grew up on Long Island`
So she packs her bags to try her hand
Says this might be my last chance

She`s gone country, look at them boots
She`s gone country, back to her roots
She`s gone country, a new kind of suit
She`s gone country, here she comes

Well the folk scene is dead
But he`s holding out in the village
He`s been writing songs speaking out
Against wealth and privilege
He says `I dont believe in money
But a man could make him a killin`
Cause some of that stuff don`t sound
Much different than Dylan
I hear down there it`s changed you see
They`re not as backwards as they used to be`

He`s gone country, look at them boots
He`s gone country, back to his roots
He`s gone country, a new kind of suit
He`s gone country, here he comes

He commutes to LA
But he`s got a house in the valley
But the bills are piling up
And the pop scene just ain`t on the rally
He says `Honey I`m a serious composer
Schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days
This ain`t no place for children
Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn`t take long
Be back in the money in no time at all`

He`s gone country, look at them boots
He`s gone country, back to his roots
He`s gone country, a new kind of suit
He`s gone country, here he comes
Yeah he`s gone country, a new kind of walk
He`s gone country, a new kind of talk
He`s gone country, look at them boots
He`s gone country, oh back to his roots

He`s gone country
He`s gone country
Everybody`s gone country
Yeah we`ve gone country
The whole world`s gone country
