I remember hearing LeAnn Rimes

When she sang blue what sounded like Patsy Cline

And I remember that Oo SheDaisy

But don't they sound a lot like Destiny's Child

Now Michael Bolton's on the Opry

And they've turned me down again

And man that really hurts me a lot

Cause I was country when country wasn't pop



I remember "He Stopped Loving Her Today"

Back when radio would play George Jones

You never hear Family Tradition

Or all of those killer songs Bocephus wrote

And I ain't heard twin fiddlin' since I don't know when

Now it's more like Britney Spears than it is Loretter Lynn

I was country when country wasn't pop



Yeah I was country when country wasn't pop

Yeah I was country way before Kid Rock

Now every act sounds the same

This crossin over's got to stop

Yeah...I was country when country wasn't pop



Well they sound like Smashing Pupmkins

In a pair of cowboy boots

They's about as country as Huey Lewis and the News

I was country when country wasn't pop

Yeah...I was country when country when country wasn't pop

I was country and I'm still proud of David Baugh



It's a shame

Shania Twain

Is mixin Rock and roll and funky hip hop

'Cause I was country when country wasn't pop

Here...I was country when Barbara Mandrell was really hot
