Bobby Bare - Don't Think You're Too Good For Country Music lyrics

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

[ ac.guitar ]

(Pickin' good pickin' good pickin' good sound like hell but pickin' good)

You're really hot on ZZ Tott 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
