I don't mind longer lyrics if they weave a story or make a point.
Mike mentioned Brad Paisley's "Letter to me". I, too, felt moved by that song. It was like he wrote that song about me. I know many others felt the same way. Heck, my 13 year old heard it and was deeply moved.
So being wordy for the sake of being wordy is a no, but something with substance, I have no problem with. (As long as their is a guitar solo or two thrown in
)
