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
