I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
Barbara Mandrell / George Jones


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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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

Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
