Gone Country

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's been playing in a room on the strip For ten years in Vegas Every night she looks in the mirror And she only ages [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] So she packs her bags to try her hand Says this might be my last chance [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Well the folk scene's dead But he's holding out in the Village He's been writin' songs, speakin' out against Wealth and privilege [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I hear down there It's changed, you see Well, they're not as backward As they used to be [Chorus] He's gone country Look at them boots He's gone country Lack to his roots He's gone country A new kind of suit He's gone country Here he comes [Verse 3] Well, he commutes to L.A 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 [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Lord, it sounds so easy This shouldn't take long Be back in the money In no time at all [Chorus] 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 [Chorus 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 Oh, back to his roots [Outro] He's gone country He's gone country Everybody's gone country Yeah, we've gone country The whole world's gone country We're gone Songwriter: Bob McDill
