I remember wearing traight leg Levis

Flannel shirts even when they weren't in style

I remember singing with Roy Rogers

At the movies when the west was really wild

And I was listening to the Opry

When all of my friends

Were digging Rock n Roll and Rhythm and Blues

I was country when country wasn't cool

I remember circling the drive in

Pulling up and turning down George Jones

I remember when no one was looking

I was putting peanuts in my coke

I took a lot of kidding

Because I never did fit in

Now look at everybody trying to be what I was then

I was country when country wasn't cool

Oh 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 nothing new

I was country when country wasn't cool

They call us country bumpkins

For sticking to our roots

I'm just glad we're in a country

Where we're all free to choose

I was country when county 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 nothing new

I was country when country wasn't cool

Yeah I was country when country wasn't cool
