I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool

In the style of

Barbara Mandrell

Lyrics

i remember wearing
straight-leg levis
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
rhythm and blues

i was country
when country
wasn't cool

i remember circlin'
the drive-in
pulling up
and turning down
george jones

i remember when
no one was lookin'
i was putting
peanuts in my coke

i took a lot of kiddin'
'cause i never did
fit in
now look at
everybody
trying 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 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
