I remember wearin straight leg Levis
Flannel shirts even when they werent 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 and blues
I was country when country wasnt 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 wasnt cool
Ooh, 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 aint nothin new
I was country when country wasnt cool
They call us country bumpkins
For stickin to our roots
Im just glad were in a country
Where were all free to choose
I was country I was country when country wasnt cool
Hey, I was country when country wasnt cool
Yeah, and I was country, from my hat down to, oh, my boots
I still act, and look the same
What you see aint nothin new
Cause I was country when country wasnt cool
Yeah, I was country when country wasnt cool
