Barbara Mandrell I Was Country When Country Wasn`t Cool Lyrics

I Was  Country When Country Wasn`t Cool Lyrics

I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool



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 listening to the Opry

When all of my friends

Were digging Rock n Roll and Rhythm and Blues

I was country when country wasn’t cool



I remember circling the drive-in

Pullin’ up and turnin’ down George Jones

I remember when no one was looking

I was putting 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



Oh, 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 when County wasn’t cool



Hey, I was Country when Country wasn’t cool

Yeah, and I was Country from my hat down to oh, my boots

I still act and look the same

What you see ain’t nothing new

I was Country when Country wasn’t cool

Yeah, I was country when Country wasn’t cool
