George Jones I Was Country When Country Wasn`t Cool Lyrics

I Was Country When Country Wasn`t Cool Lyrics

I remember wearin' straight leg Levis an' flannel shirts

Even when they weren't in style

I remember singin' with Roy Rogers at the movies

When the West was really wild



An' I was listenin' to the opry

When all of my friends were diggin' rock 'n' roll

An' rhythm 'n' blues

I was country, when country wasn't cool



I remember circlin' the drive-in, pullin' up

An' 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 an' 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



Yeah, I was country, country wasn't cool

Yeah an' I was country from my hat down to my boots

I still act an' look the same

What you see ain't nothin' new

'Cause I was country, when country wasn't cool

Yeah, I was country when country wasn't cool
