I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool Songtext
von Lynn Anderson

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
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
Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn′t cool
