She's been playing that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
G C D (riff)
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages

(riff)
She's been reading 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's
buying
G C D (riff)
Says I'm a simple girl myself grew up on Long Island

So she packs her bags to try her hand
Em D
Says this might be my last chance

She's gone country, look at them boots

Em/NC
She's gone country, here she comes

Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village
G C D (riff)
He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
G C D (riff)
He says I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'
G C D (riff)
Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan
Em D
I hear down there it's changed you see
Em D
They're not as backwards as they used to be

G C D
He's gone country, look at them boots

He's gone country, a new kind of suit
Em/NC
He's gone country, here he comes

He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley
G C D (riff)
But the bills are pilling up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally
G C D (riff)
He says honey I'm a serious composer schooled in voice and composition
G C D
(riff)
But with the crime and the smog these days this ain't no place for
children
Em D
Lord it sounds so easy, this shouldn't take long
Em D
Be back in the money in no time at all

G C D
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
Em/NC
He's gone country, here he comes

Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk
G C D
He's gone country, a new kind of talk

He's gone country

He's gone country
D G C
Everybody's gone country

The whole world's gone country
