I remember wearin
straight leg Levi's
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
I was listenin to the opry
When all of my
friends were diggin
rock 'n' roll and
rhythm 'n' 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
Ooh 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
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
Yeah I was country
when country
wasn't cool
Yeah and I was
country from my
hat down to my boots
I still act and
look the same
What you see
ain't nothin new
Cause I was country
when country
wasn't cool
Yeah I was country
when country
wasn't cool
