I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool

Lyrics

I remember wearing straight leg Levis, flannel shirts Even when they weren't in style I remember singing with Roy Rogers at the movies When the West was really wild And I was listening to the Opry When all of my friends were digging rock n' roll and rhythm and blues I was country when country wasn't cool I remember circling the drive-in Pulling up and turning down George Jones I remember when no one was looking I was putting peanuts in my Coke I took a lot of kidding, 'cause I never did fit in Now look at everybody trying to be what I was then I was country when country wasn't cool 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 nothing new I was country when country wasn't cool They call us country bumpkins for sticking to our roots I'm just glad we're in a country when we're all free to choose I was country when country wasn't cool 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 nothing new I was country when country wasn't cool Yeah, I was country when country wasn't cool
