Текст Bobby Bare – Don’t Think You’re Too Good For Country Music

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.

(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…
