[Verse 1]
She's been plGaying that room on the Cstrip for Dten years in VegasG  D  C  
Every nigGht she looks in the miCrror but Dshe only agesG  D  C  
She's been reGading 'bout Nashville and all the Crecords that everyDbody's
buyingG  D  C  
Say's I'm a siGmple girl myself grCew up on DLong IslandG  D  C  
So she pEmacks her bags to Dtry her hand
Says tEmhis might be Dmy last chance
[Chorus]
She's gone coGuntry, Clook at them boDots
She's gone coGuntry, Cback to her rooDts
She's gone coGuntry, a Cnew kind of sDuit
EmN.C.
She's gone country, here she comes

Well the foGlk scene's dead, but Che's holding Dout in the villageG  D  C  
He's been wGriting songs, speaking oCut against wDealth and privilegeG  D  C  
He says GI don't believe in money, but a Cman could Dmake him a killin'G  D  C  
Cause sGome of that stuff don't soCund much diDfferent than DylanG  D  C  
I heaEmr down there its chDanged you see
They're Emnot as backwards as Dthey used to be
[Chorus]
He's gone couGntry, lCook at them booDts
He's gone couGntry, bCack to his rootDs

He cGommutes to L.A., but Che's got a hoDuse in the valleyG  D  C  
But the bGills are piling up and the pCop scene Djust ain't on a rallGyD  C  
And he says hoGney I'm a serious coCmposer,D  
schooled in vCoice and composDitionG  D  C  
But with the crGime and the smog these Cdays
this ain't no plDace for childrenG  D  C  
Lord it souEmnds so easy, this shouldn't tDake long
Be bacEmk in the money in no time at aDll
