Letras: Cledus T. Judd. I Was Country When Country Wasn't Pop.

I remember hearing LeAnn Rimes
When she sang blue what sounded like Patsy Cline
And I love that group 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 Loretta 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 Pumpkins 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 wasn't pop
I was country and I'm still proud of [Incomprehensible]

It's a shame, Shania Twain
Is mixin' rock and roll and funky hip hop
'Cause I was country when country wasn't pop
Yeah, I was country when Barbara Mandrell was really hot
