oh the south

Fell for a country boy... Turning my world upside down one day at a time

"Ladies Love Country Boys"




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 shes coming home to visit

Holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy



With a farmers tan



Shes riding in the middle of his pickup truck

Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, Turn it up!

They raised her up a lady but theres one thing

They couldnt avoid

Ladies love country boys



You know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters

Hope theyll 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 shes riding in the middle of a pickup truck

Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, Turn it up!

They raised her up a lady but theres one thing

They couldnt avoid

Ladies love country boys



You can train em, you can try to teach em

Right from wrong but its still gonna turn em on



And 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 theres one thing

You just cant avoid

Ladies love country boys

They love us country boys
