Don`t Think You`re Too Good for Country Music — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(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...
