"I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool"Performed by Barbara Mandrell in June 1981I remember wearin' straight leg LevisFlannel shirts Even when they weren't in styleI remember singin' with Roy Rogersat the movies when the West was really wildAnd I was listenin' to the OpryWhen all of my friendswere diggin' Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & BluesI was Country, when Country wasn't coolI remember circlin' the drive-in,pullin' up and turnin' down George JonesI remember when no one was lookin'I was puttin' peanuts in my CokeI took a lot of kiddin''Cause I never did fit innow look at everybodytryin' to be what I was thenI was Country, when Country wasn't coolOooh(Chorus:)I was Country, when Country wasn't coolI was Country, from my hat down to my bootsI still act, and look the sameWhat you see ain't nothin' newI was Country, when Country wasn't cool(Instrumental Break)They call us country bumpkinsFor stickin' to our rootsI'm just glad we're in a countryWhere we're all free to chooseI was Country, when Country wasn't cool
