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:)
|
Ooh 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 called 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
|
|
(Repeat chorus)
|
(George Jones)
|
Hey 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
|

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
