George Jones - I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool lyrics

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 I was Country, when Country wasn't cool (George Jones) Hey I was Country, when Country wasn't cool Yeah I was country, from my hat down to, Whoa my boots I still act, and look the same What you see ain't nothin' new Yeah, I was Country when Country wasn't cool
