D
She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
F                    G                 D
Ballet, Straight As, most likely to su cceed
They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
F                         G            D
Put her on the fast track to a law deg ree
         A
Now shes comin home to visit
Holdin the hand
     C
Of a wild-eyed boy
       G
with a farmers tan

[Chorus]
          D            D/C           G      D
And she's ridin in the middle of his pickup truck
                D/C             G       D
Blarin' Charlie Daniels yellin, Turn it up!
                     D/C
They raised her up a lady
           G                         A
But theres one thing they couldnt av oid
C           G       D
Ladies love country boys


               D
Yeah, you know mommas and daddys want better for their daughters
Hope theyll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
         F                  G                   D
In their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalt y
     A
They never understand
why their princess falls
         C
For some camouflage britches
      G
And a southern boy drawl

            D            D/C         G      D
Or why shes ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
            D/C         G       D
Blarin Hank Jr. yellin, Turn it up!
                     D/C
They raised her up a lady
           G                         A
But theres one thing they couldnt av oid
C           G       D
Ladies love country boys

But its still gonna turn em on

             D            D/C         G      D
When they go ridin in the middle of a pickup truck

Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, Turn it up!
        D              D/C
You can raise her up a lady

But theres one thing you just cant av oid
C           G       D
