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 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 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 (Ooh, 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 Ooh yeah It's that country thing you know
