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
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:
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
I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
