[ti:gone country]
[ar:alan jackson]
[00:16.50] She's been playing in a room on a strip
[00:19.56] For ten years in Vegas
[00:24.12] Every night she looks in the mirror
[00:27.12] But she only ages
[00:31.56] She's been reading about Nashville and all
[00:35.06] The records that everybody's buying
[00:38.87] Says 'I'm a simple girl myself
[00:42.12] Grew up on Long Island'
[00:46.93] So she packs her bags to try her hand
[00:50.87] Says this might be my last chance
[00:54.25] She's gone country,look at them boots
[00:58.18] She's gone country,back to her roots
[01:01.94] She's gone country,a new kind of suit
[01:06.12] She's gone country,here she comes
[01:17.44] Well the folk scene is dead
[01:20.06] But he's holding out in the village
[01:25.00] He's been writing songs speaking out
[01:27.87] Against wealth and privilege
[01:32.62] He says 'I dont believe in money
[01:34.81] But a man could make him a killin'
[01:40.50] Cause some of that stuff don't sound
[01:43.37] Much different than Dylan
[01:48.12] I hear down there it's changed you see
[01:52.31] They're not as backwards as they used to be'
[01:55.56] He's gone country,look at them boots
[01:59.56] He's gone country,back to his roots
[02:03.31] He's gone country,a new kind of suit
[02:06.81] He's gone country,here he comes
[02:26.12] He commutes to LA
[02:28.31] But he's got a house in the valley
[02:33.81] But the bills are piling up
[02:35.94] And the pop scene just ain't on the rally
[02:41.18] He says 'Honey I'm a serious composer
[02:43.00] Schooled in voice and composition
[02:49.08] But with the crime and the smog these days
[02:51.83] This ain't no place for children
[02:56.52] Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long
[03:00.70] Be back in the money in no time at all'
[03:04.02] He's gone country,look at them boots
[03:07.64] He's gone country,back to his roots
[03:11.52] He's gone country,a new kind of suit
[03:15.77] He's gone country,here he comes
[03:26.64] Yeah he's gone country,a new kind of walk
[03:31.27] He's gone country,a new kind of talk
[03:34.95] He's gone country,look at them boots
[03:38.77] He's gone country,oh back to his roots
[03:42.70] He's gone country
[03:46.83] He's gone country
[03:49.83] Everybody's gone country
[03:53.83] Yeah we've gone country
[03:57.45] The whole world's gone country
