I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool

I remember wearin' straight leg Levis

Flannel shirts Even when they weren't in style

I remember singin' with Roy Rogers

at the movies when the West was really wild



And I was listenin' to the Opry

When all of my friends

were diggin' Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues

I was Country, when Country wasn't cool



I remember circlin' the drive-in,

pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones

I remember when no one was lookin'

I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke



I took a lot of kiddin'

'Cause I never did fit in

now look at everybody

tryin' to be what I was then



I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

Oooh



(Chorus:)

I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

I was Country, from my hat down to my boots

I still act, and look the same

What you see ain't nothin' new



I was Country, when Country wasn't cool



(Instrumental Break)



They call us country bumpkins

For stickin' to our roots

I'm just glad we're in a country

Where we're all free to choose



I was Country, when Country wasn't cool



(George Jones)

Hey I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

Yeah I was country, from my hat down to, Whoa my boots

I still act, and look the same

What you see ain't nothin' new



Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
