Well, if the Daisy Dukes fit...
In the wake of a less-than-steller reception for her last pop album and an acting career that has all but come to a grinding halt, Jessica Simpson decided to go country, with her new single making its way around the Internet.
The track, "Come On Over," is certainly not breaking any ground here musically or lyrically—"Leave your dishes in the sink/Leave your ice cubes in the sink/Just come on over"—but we admit the upbeat tune is kinda catchy.
And at the very least, the Texas native does sound a wee bit better than the karaoke efforts of her beau Tony Romo.

 Here is an exclusive picture of Jessica Simpson and her mom Tina (right) returning to their country roots in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday, May 28. Bigger picture here. “Jessica looked really happy and fresh — ready to work and in a great mood,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. “She was laughing and chatting with her mom and her publicist.” The previous day, “Jessica worked all day on shooting her album cover,” an insider says. “She then rested up that evening for an eight-hour photo shoot with Elle magazine that happened the next day. She was really happy and just glowing.” The newest solo country crooner is successfully climbing up the charts with her single, “Come on Over,” which debuted at No. 41 on the Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.

Expect to see a little southern comfort to grace the cover of Jessica Simpson's new country album.
No, not the booze.
Sources tell E! News she'll likely be dressed in a cowboy hat and boots for the CD cover.
"This is her first country album, and she wanted to send home the message that despite her previous pop stuff, she's just a country girl at heart," the pal says.
Jessica posed for pics in Nashville on Monday in a cover shoot that included lots of cowgirl shots (in jeans and cutoffs), as well as glam-girl pics, according to our insider.
"They wanted a mix of stuff to choose from," says the insider. "But she is pushing for the simple country cowgirl-type thing."
Jessica's mom, Tina, was on set, but the men in her life (daddy Joe and beau Tony) were both absent. And that's a good thing, says Jessica's pal.
"She's got enough pressure on her," her friend says. "She doesn't need the men all tense around her. She's got so much hope pinned on this country record. She thinks this could reinvent her and finally give her the respect she's never had in the music industry. She simply can't live with Newlyweds as her only lasting legacy."

Jessica Simpson proved to be both a tourist and an attraction during a visit to Nashville Wednesday.
The singer-actress, 28, surprised fans with an unannounced autograph session at the Block Party kicking off the annual CMA Music Festival.
Although she did not perform, her music played – specifically, her new song "Come on Over," the leadoff single from her as-yet-untitled first country album, due in the fall.
Later that night – clad in black short-shorts, a white shirt, a fitted black blazer and high heels – Jessica joined dad Joe Simpson and some others at Lime, a hip new Latin fusion restaurant in midtown Nashville.
Absent from the meal was her boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who was at practice with his team back in the Lone Star State.
Eventually Simpson joined a few female fans in one of the restaurant's other booths and sat for photos with even more admirers before heading back to her own table.

Jessica Simpson smiles ear to ear after being asked about becoming an aunt (her younger sister Ashlee is pregnant) outside her hotel in New York City on Tuesday morning.
Auntie Jessica, who was accompanied by mom Tina, tried to stay cool in a pair of short shorts–the temperature in Manhattan has soared to 98 degrees F!
Jessica, 27, also recently talked about her future in country music with Nashville’s Tennessean. She addressed why some people are so against her singing country music: “I think just because my name is attached to it. Or maybe they thought that I was just trying to stomp on their ground for a little bit and see what I could do, and then just go back and make another pop record. But I’m planning on making country for the rest of my life, and I don’t want to go back to that other world.”
She added, “It’s a spiritual thing for me, like ‘I know God has a plan and a purpose.’ For the first time in my life, I take a lot of pride in my talent and in the record I was able to put together. With the writers, I felt comfortable opening up, because the only way this opportunity was going to be a great one was to be honest with myself and with them. If I want to be singing it for the rest of my life onstage, I want it to be honest.”

Jessica Simpson’s much-anticipated country album is due out September 9!
“It’s going to be a great year,” her father, Joe, tells Us Weekly. “It’s 9-9 — she’s into nines this year. We hope it’s a wonderful joy. It feels really good. She is extremely happy.”
The music video for “Come on Over,” her first single, debuts on her Web site Saturday and on CMT next week. Visit JessicaSimpson.com tomorrow to watch the vid!
Joe says the heartland of America is where his daughter belongs. “We forget on the East and West coasts that there is a whole country in between,” Joe said. “That’s our home, and that’s Jessica’s home.”

“I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas; I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”
–- Jessica Simpson told concert goers Saturday at the Country Thunder music festival in Wisconsin, where she was greeted by a mix of boos and cheers.
