I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool

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

I remember wearin' 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 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

Pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones

I remember when no one was looking

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 nothing 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

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

I was country when country
