Too Country

[Verse 1] Too country what's that Is it like too Republican or too Democrat Is it too far to the left Too far to the right Too straight down the middle Is it too black or too white [Verse 2] Are the biscuits too fluffy is the chicken too fried Is the gravy too thick are the peas too black-eyed Is the iced tea too sweet does it have too much tang Are there too many lemons in mama's lemon meringue [Verse 3] Too country what's that It is too many pearls of wisdom under grandpa's old hat Is it just too old fashioned is it just too antique Is the question too strong or the answer too weak [Verse 4] Are the roses too red is the sunshine too bright Are there too many stars in the heavens at night Are there too many fish that still jump in the stream Is the blue sky too blue is the clean air too clean [Verse 5] Is the grace too amazing is the steeple too tall Are there too many "yes sir's", "yes ma'am's" And "how're y'all's" Is the message too really too close to the bone Do the fiddle and steel remind you too much of home Is honest and true just not in demand Too country Too country Too country I don't understand
