Written by K. Fleming & D. Morgan (As performed by Barbara Mandrell and George Jones) 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 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 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 (Repeat chorus) Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
