I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool

I remember wearing straight leg Levis and flannel shirts
Even when they weren't in style
I remember singing with Roy Rogers at the movies
When the West was really wild
I was listening to the Opry when all of my friends
Were digging Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & 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
Where we're all free to choose
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
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
I was Country
