This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there
Yeah, she grew up in the city in a little subdivision
Her daddy wore a tie, mama 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
Blaring 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 it's true
Yeah, you know mama's and daddy's
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 camouflaged 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
Oh, get country with it now
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
Blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd, yellin' ("Turn it up!")
You can raise her up a lady
But there's one thing you just can't avoid
Ladies love country boys
They love us country boys, yeah
They can't stand it
It's that country thing, you know, yeah
Sing it now
Oh, that's pretty ladies
I like the "na-na"
