I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool - Lynn Anderson

I remember wearing straight 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 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

'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

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

I was country when country wasn't cool

Hey I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country from my hat down to whoa my boots

I still act and look the same

What you see ain't nothing new

I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country when country wasn't cool
