We were Country When Country wasn't cool

Yeah, that's us, our family. This little ditty by Barbara Mandrell (with a little help from George Jones). The town we grew up in is now considered "Cool". Back then, it was known as the dead zone. Nothing going on. One light, one grocery store, one Pharmacy, and one family restaurant. Now there are several Pharmacies, the A&P is out of business, and the family restaurant has been replaced by an Indian restaurant. Cripes, I think there is even a Sushi restaurant now. People remark how they LOVE that town. OH MY. So, it's a cool town. Big whoop.

Things sure have changed, for the better? I don't know, but I certainly know, my family and I were country, when country wasn't cool.
