She's been playin' in a room on the Strip For ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror And she only ages
She's been readin' about Nashville and all The records that everybody's buyin'
Says 'I'm a simple girl myself
Grew up on Long Island'
So she packs her bags to try to 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 holdin' out in the village
He's been writin' songs speakin' out Against wealth and privilege
He says "I don't 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 backward 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
Well, he commutes to LA
But he's got a house in the Valley
But the bills are pilin' up And the pop scene just ain't on the rally
And 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
