[Verse 1]
[G]I remember weari[D]ng straight -leg
Levi's flannel shirts
even when they [G]weren't in style

And I was [C]listening to the opera
when [D]all of my friends were digging
[G]rock and roll and [B]rhythm and blues
[Em]I wa[C]s countr[Am]y when
[D]country wasn't [G]cool
I remember circ[D]ling the drive -in,
pulling up and turning down [G]George Jones
I remember [D]when no one was lookin'
I was puttin' peanuts in [G]my Coke
You know I [C]took a lot of kiddin'
Cause I [D]never did fit in
Now [G]look at everybody [B]tryin'
to be [Em]what I was [C]then
