[00:15.94]She's been playin' in a room on the Strip
[00:19.13]For ten years in Vegas
[00:22.63]
[00:23.62]Every night she looks in the mirror
[00:26.81]And she only ages
[00:28.19]
[00:31.13]She's been readin' about Nashville and all

[00:50.77]Says"This might be my last chance"
[00:54.02]She's gone country look at them boots
[00:57.96]She's gone country back to her roots
[01:01.83]She's gone country a new kind of suit
[01:05.52]She's gone country here she comes
[01:09.34]
[01:17.14]Well the folk scene is dead
[01:19.40]But he's holdin' out in the village
[01:24.65]He's been writin' songs speakin' out
[01:28.27]Against wealth and privilege
[01:32.27]He says"I don't believe in money
[01:35.46]But a man could make him a killin'
[01:40.27]'Cause some of that stuff don't sound
[01:42.96]Much different than Dylan
[01:44.34]
[01:47.71]I hear down there it's changed you see
[01:51.83]They're not as backward as they used to be"
[01:55.08]He's gone country look at them boots

[02:11.78]
[02:25.77]Well he commutes to LA
[02:28.14]But he's got a house in the Valley
[02:33.34]But the bills are pilin' up
[02:35.71]And the pop scene just ain't on the rally
[02:40.89]And he says"Honey I'm a serious composer
[02:43.74]Schooled in voice and composition
[02:48.55]But with the crime and the smog these days
[02:51.49]This ain't no place for children
[02:56.18]Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long
[03:00.36]Be back in the money in no time at all"
[03:03.93]He's gone country look at them boots
[03:07.68]He's gone country back to his roots
[03:11.60]He's gone country a new kind of suit
[03:15.35]He's gone country here he comes
[03:20.66]
[03:26.35]Yeah he's gone country a new kind of walk
[03:30.91]He's gone country a new kind of talk
[03:34.72]He's gone country look at them boots
[03:38.54]He's gone country oh back to his roots
[03:42.54]He's gone country
[03:46.28]He's gone country
[03:49.35]Everybody's gone country
[03:53.35]Yeah we've gone country
[03:56.91]The whole world's gone country
