I Was Country When Country Wasn't Pop

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 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 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
