ladies love country boys

she grew up in the city in a little subdivision

her daddy wore a tie

mama never fried a chicken

ballet

straight-as

most likely to succeed

they bought her a car after graduation

sent her down south for some higher education

put her on the fast track to a law degree

now shes coming home to visit

holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy

with a farmers tan

shes riding in the middle of his pickup truck

blaring charlie daniels

yelling

turn it up!

they raised her up a lady but theres one thing

they couldnt avoid

ladies love country boys

you know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters

hope theyll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer

and their uptown

ball gown

hand-me-down royalty

they never understand why their princess falls

for some camouflage britches and a southern-boy-drawl

or why shes riding in the middle of a pickup truck

blaring hank jr. yelling

turn it up!

they raised her up a lady but theres one thing

they couldnt avoid

ladies love country boys

you can train em

you can try to teach em

right from wrong but its still gonna turn em on

and they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck

blaring lynyrd skynyrd

yelling

turn it up!

you can raise her up a lady but theres one thing

you just cant avoid

ladies love country boys

they love us country boys
