Ladies Love Country Boys -- Trace Adkins

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 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 there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys

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 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 couldn't 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

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

They love us country boys
