ALAN JACKSON - Gone Country lyrics

rate me

She's been playing in a room on a strip<br>For ten years in vegas<br>Every night she looks in the mirror<br>But she only ages<br>She's been reading about nashville and all<br>The records that everybody's buying<br>Says 'I'm a simple girl myself<br>Grew up on long island'<br>So she packs her bags to try her hand<br>Says this might be my last chance<br><br>She's gone country, look at them boots<br>She's gone country, back to her roots<br>She's gone country, a new kind of suit<br>She's gone country, here she comes<br><br>Well the folk scene is dead<br>But he's holding out in the village<br>He's been writing songs speaking out<br>Against wealth and privilege<br>He says 'i don't believe in money<br>But a man could make him a killin'<br>Cause some of that stuff don't sound<br>Much different than dylan<br>I hear down there it's changed you see<br>They're not as backwards as they used to be'<br><br>He's gone country, look at them boots<br>He's gone country, back to his roots<br>He's gone country, a new kind of suit<br>He's gone country, here he comes<br><br>He commutes to la<br>But he's got a house in the valley<br>But the bills are piling up<br>And the pop scene just ain't on the rally<br>He says 'honey I'm a serious composer<br>Schooled in voice and composition<br>But with the crime and the smog these days<br>This ain't no place for children<br>Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long<br>Be back in the money in no time at all'<br><br>He's gone country, look at them boots<br>He's gone country, back to his roots<br>He's gone country, a new kind of suit<br>He's gone country, here he comes<br>Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk<br>He's gone country, a new kind of talk<br>He's gone country, look at them boots<br>He's gone country, oh back to his roots<br><br>He's gone country<br>He's gone country<br>Everybody's gone country<br>Yeah we've gone country<br>The whole world's gone country
