Ladies Love Country Boys

This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there

And 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 she's coming home to visit

Holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy with a farmer's tan

And she's riding in the middle of his pickup truck

Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, "Turn it up!"

They raised her up a lady, but there's one thing they couldn't avoid

Ladies love country boys

You know it's true

Yeah, you know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters

Hope they'll 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 she's riding in the middle of a pickup truck

Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, "Turn it up!"

They raised her up a lady, but there's one thing they couldn't avoid

Ladies love country boys

Aw, get country with it, now

You can train them, you can try to teach them

Right from wrong, but it's still going to turn 'em on

When 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 there's one thing you just can't avoid

Ladies love country boys

They love us country boys, yeah

Yeah, and they can't stand it

It's that country thing, y'all

Yeah, sing it right now

Oh, that's pretty, ladies
