Too Country

Too country what's that

Is it like too Republican or too Democrat

Is it too far to the left

Or too far to the right

Too straight down the middle

Too black or too white

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 lemonade

Too country what's that

Is it 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

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

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 real, 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

I don't understand
