(Verse)
She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
Ballet, Straight As, most likely to su cceed
They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
Put her on the fast track to a law deg ree
Now shes comin home to visit
Holdin the hand
Of a wild-eyed boy
with a farmers tan

(Chorus)
And she’s ridin in the [D/C]middle of his pickup truck
Blarin’ Charlie [D/C]Daniels yellin, Turn it up!
They raised her up a [D/C]lady
But theres one thing they couldnt av oid
Ladies love country boys

Yeah, you know mommas and daddys want better for their daughters
Hope theyll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalt y
They never understand
why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches
And a southern boy drawl

Or why shes ridin in the [D/C]middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Hank [D/C]Jr. yellin, Turn it up!
They raised her up a [D/C]lady
But theres one thing they couldnt av oid
Ladies love country boys

You can train em
You can try to teach em right from wrong
But its still gonna turn em on

When they go ridin in the [D/C]middle of a pickup truck
D/C NC
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, Turn it up!
You can raise her up a [D/C]lady
But theres one thing you just cant av oid
Ladies love country boys
