I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool (Original Artist Re-recording) - Sandy Posey

I remember wearin'

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

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 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 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

Hey I was Country

When Country wasn't cool

Yeah I was country

From my hat down to

Whoa my boots

I still act and

Look the same

What you see ain't

Nothin' new

I was Country

When Country wasn't cool

I was Country when

Country wasn't cool

I was Country
