I Was Country.kar

I remember wearin' straight-leg Levi's,
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 list'nin' to the Op'ry
when all o' my friends

were diggin' rock and 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 lotta kiddin',
'cause I never did fit in.

Now look at ev'rybody
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 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.

Hey, I was country when country wasn't cool.
Yeah, and I was country a-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.
