Yeah, they can't stand it
Ladies love country boys, they love us country boys, yeah
And they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Oh, that's pretty ladies
They raised her up a lady but there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Now she's coming home to visit, holding the hand
Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, “Turn it up”
Of a wild-eyed boy with a farmer's tan
Yeah, you know mama's and daddy's want better for their daughters
Ladies love country boys, you know it's true
Ballet, straight A's, most likely to succeed
For some camouflage britches and a southern boy drawl
Sent her down South for some higher education
Ladies love country boys, oh, get country with it now
And she's riding in the middle of his pickup truck
Yeah, she grew up in the city in a little subdivision
Put her on the fast track to a law degree
You can train 'em, you can try to teach 'em right from wrong
Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken
Or why she's riding in the middle of a pickup truck
They said, country thing you know
They raised her up a lady but there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, “Turn it up”
Yeah
And their uptown, ball gown, hand me down royalty
(Na na na na na, na na na na na)
Sing it na, na
You can raise her up a lady but there's one thing you just can't avoid
Blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd, yelling, “Turn it up!”
But it's still gonna turn 'em on
They never understand why their princess falls
They bought her a car after graduation
