She grew up in the city in a little subdivision Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken Ballet, straight-As, 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 a farmers tan
And she's riding in the middle of his pickup truck Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling Turn it up! They raised her up a lady but there's one thing They couldnt avoid Ladies love country boys
You Know it's true
Now, you know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer And 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 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 couldnt avoid Ladies love country boys
You can train em, you can try to teach em Right from wrong but it's still gonna turn em on
When they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck Blaring Lynyrd 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
