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...
