Lyric Don t Think You re Too Good for Country Music

(Bob McDill)

I see your van you re a guitar man
It s written all over your face
To make it big you quit your gig
A playin bass at the airbase.

You ve come to town you ve been turned down
But it s just a question of taste
Don t think you re too good for country music
Just because you can rock and roll.

Likely as not your licks are hot
But you won t work much here in Nashville
You re really keen on BB King
But they don t cut him here in Nashville.

And if you don t pick them country licks
You can bet somebody else will
Don t think you re too good for country music
Just because you can rock and roll.

--- Instrumental ---

(Pickin good, pickin good, pickin good
Sound like hell but pickin good.)

You re really hot on ZZ Topp
But you ain t doin any session
Your licks are neat but you won t eat
Until you learn one little lesson.

You boogie good and I knew you could
But they don t boogie much in Nashville
Don t think you re too good for country music
Just because you can rock and roll...
