Artist/Band: Bobby Bare
Lyrics for Song: Don't Think You're Too Good for Country Music
Lyrics for Album: Me and McDill [RCA Victor] [1977]



(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...


Don't Think You're Too Good for Country Music

Bobby Bare delivers a spirited performance of this 1977 track on the album Me and McDill, showcasing his enduring vocal prowess and commitment to traditional country storytelling. Recorded with RCA Victor, the song reflects Bare's ability to blend humor with heartfelt delivery, a hallmark of his career spanning decades. While often associated with his earlier hits like 'Folsom Prison Blues', this recording demonstrates his continued relevance in the genre during the late 1970s. The tune captures the essence of rural life and self-deprecating wit that defined much of his discography, offering fans a glimpse into his musical evolution alongside contemporaries like George Jones. It stands as a testament to his skill in interpreting classic themes with fresh energy.
