this is for all you sophisticated ladies out there
now she grew up in the city in a little subdivision
her daddy wore a tie mama never fried
a chicken ballets grade 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 coming home to visit
holding the hand of a wild eyed boy
with the farmer's tan
and she's 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 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
in their uptown ball gown hand me down royalty
they never understand why their princess falls
for some camouflage bridges and a southern boy draw
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 boy
oh get country with it now
uh huh
you can train them
you can try to teach them right from wrong
but it's still gonna turn them on
when they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck
blaring little 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 oh
yeah they can't stand
it's that country thing you know
