(riff)
She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
(riff)
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's
(riff)
buying
(riff)
Say's 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
NC
She's gone country, here she comes
(Riff x 2)
(riff)
Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village
(riff)
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
(riff)
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'
(riff)
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan
I hear down there its 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
NC
He's gone country, here he comes
(Riff x 4)
(riff)
He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley
(riff)
But the bills are pilling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally
And he says honey I'm a serious composer schooled in voice and
(Riff)
composition
But with the crime and the smog these days this ain't no place for
(Riff)
children
Lord it sounds so easy, this 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
NC
He's gone country, here he comes
(Riff x 2)
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, aw 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
We gone
