Lyrics of 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
