Barbara Mandrell - I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool lyrics

rate me

I remember wearin' straight leg Levis and 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

Chorus:

I was Country, when Country wasnt 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

Chorus:

I was Country, when Country wasnt 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

Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
