I remember wearing straight legged Levi's 
                                      C5 
flannel shirts even when they weren't in style 
           G5 
I remember singin' with Roy Rogers  
                                C5             C5  
at the movies when the west was really wild 
      F5                         E5 
I was listenin to the Opry when all of my friends 
             C5                 C5        A5   F5 
were diggin' rock and roll and rythem and blues 
      D5           G5              C5 
I was country when country wasn't cool 
 
I remember sittin' in 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 
            G5                           C5 
Oooh, I was country when country wasn't cool 
      G5                              C5       C5 
I was country from my hat down to my boots 
F5               E5 
I still act and look the same  
        C5         C5     A5  F5 
what ya see ain't nothin' new 
      D5           G5              C5 
I was country when country wasn't cool
