Gone Country Lyrics - Genuine: The Alan Jackson Story - Alan Jackson

She's been playing in a room on a strip 

For ten years in Vegas 

Every night she looks in the mirror 

But she only ages 

She's been reading about Nashville 

And all the records that everybody's buying 

Says 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 

She's gone country, here she comes

Listen To Every Song Of The Summer Since 1958 In Our Ultimate Mega-Mix 

Well the folk scene is dead 

But he's holding out in the village 

He's been writing songs speaking 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 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 

He's gone country, here he comes 

He commutes to LA 

But he's got a house in the valley 

But the bills are piling up 

And the pop scene just ain't on the rally 

Photos 

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
