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, and 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, when country wasn't cool, hey, i was country, when country wasn't cool, yeah, i was country, from my hat down to, whoa my boots, i still act, and look the same, what you see ain't nothin' new, yeah, i was country when country wasn't cool
