^GToo country ^Dwhat's that ^EmIs it like too Republican ^Cor too Democrat ^GIs it too far to the left ^DToo far to the right ^EmToo straight down the middle ^CIs it too black or too white

^DAre the biscuits too fluffy is the ^Gchicken too fried ^DIs the gravy too thick are the ^Cpeas too black eyed ^GIs the iced tea too sweet does it ^Dhave too much tang ^EmAre there too many lemons in mama's ^Clemon meringue

^GToo country ^Dwhat's that ^EmIs it too many pearls of wisdom under ^Cgrandpa's old hat ^GIs it just too old fashioned ^Dor is it just too antique ^EmIs the question too strong ^Cis the answer too weak

^DAre the roses too red is the ^Gsunshine too bright ^DAre there too many stars in the ^Cheavens at night ^GAre there too many fish that still ^Djump in the stream ^EmIs the blue sky too blue is the ^Cclean air too clean

^DIs the grace too amazing is the ^Gsteeple too tall ^DAre there too many yes sir's and yes ^Cma'am's and how are y'all's ^GIs the message too real too ^Dclose to the bone ^EmDo the fiddle and steel remind you ^Ctoo much of home

^GIs honest and true just ^Dnot in demand ^EmToo country ^CToo country ^GToo country ^DI don't understand
