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
