Lyrics

I remember wearin' straight leg Levis 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 and 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 (I was country) when country wasn't cool Hey, I was country when country wasn't cool Yeah, and I was country, from my hat down to, oh, 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
