I Was Country When Country Wasnât Cool
I remember wearinâ straight leg Levis
Flannel shirts even when they werenât 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 wasnât cool
I remember circling the drive-in
Pullinâ up and turninâ down George Jones
I remember when no one was looking
I was putting peanuts in my coke
I took a lot of kiddinâ
âCause I never did fit in
Now look at everybody tryinâ to be what I was then
I was country when country wasnât cool
Oh, I was country when Country wasnât cool
I was Country from my hat down to my boots
I still act and look the same
What you see ainât nothing new
I was Country when Country wasnât cool
They call us country bumpkins
For sticking to our roots
Iâm just glad weâre in a country
Where weâre all free to choose
I was Country when County wasnât cool
Hey, I was Country when Country wasnât cool
Yeah, and I was Country from my hat down to oh, my boots
I still act and look the same
What you see ainât nothing new
I was Country when Country wasnât cool
Yeah, I was country when Country wasnât cool
