I remember wearing straight legged 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 listenin to the Opry when all of my friends
were diggin' rock and roll and rythem and blues
I was country when country wasn't cool
I remember sittin' in 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

Oooh, 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 ya see ain't nothin' new
I was country when country wasn't cool

They called us country bumkins 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
*Chorus (w/ George Jones)
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 ya see ain't nothin' new
Cause I was country when country wasn't cool
Yeah, I was country when country wasn't cool
I remember wearing straight legged 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 listenin to the Opry when all of my friends
were diggin' rock and roll and rythem and blues
I was country when country wasn't cool
I remember sittin' in 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

Oooh, 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 ya see ain't nothin' new
I was country when country wasn't cool

They called us country bumkins 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
*Chorus (w/ George Jones)
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 ya see ain't nothin' new
Cause I was country when country wasn't cool
Yeah, I was country when country wasn't cool
