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

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 

Oooh 

(Chorus:) 

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 

(Instrumental Break) 

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
