I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool Lyrics

I remember wearin' straight leg Levis and 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

Chorus:
I was Country, when Country wasnt 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


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

Chorus:
I was Country, when Country wasnt 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

Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
