She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
Ballet, Straight A's, 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 she's comin home to visit
holdin the hand
Of a wild-eyed boy
with a farmer's tan
And shes ridin in the middle of his pickup truck
Blarin Charlie Daniels yellin, "Turn it up!"
They raised her up a lady
but there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys
(You know its true)
Yeah, you know momma's and daddy's want better for their daughters
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In 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 she's ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Hank Jr. yellin, "Turn it up!"
They raised her up a lady
but there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys
(oooh, get country with it)
You can train 'em
You can try to teach 'em right from wrong
But it's still gonna turn 'em on
When they go ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, "Turn it up!"
You can raise her up a lady
but there's one thing you jus can't avoid
Ladies love country boys
They love us country boys
Ooooooh yeah
It's that country thing you know
