She grew up in the city, in a little subdivision
Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken
Ballet, straight a's, most likely too succeed
They bought her a car, after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
Put her on a fast track, to a law degree
Now she's coming home to visit holdin' the hand
Of a wide eyed boy with a farmers tan
She loves ridin' in the middle of his pick up truck
Blarin' Charlie Daniels yellin' turn it up
They raised her up a lady, but there's one thing they couldn't afford
Ladies love country boys
You know mama's and daddy's want better for the daughter
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
And they're 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 pick up truck
Blarin' Hank Jr. yellin' turn it up
They raised her up a lady, but there's one thing you couldn't afford
Ladies love country boys
You can train'em, you can try to teach'em right from wrong
But still it's gonna turn'em on when they go
When they go ridin' in the middle of a pick up truck
Blarin' Lynard Skynard yellin' turn it up
You can raise her up a lady but there's one thing you can't afford
Ladies love country boys
