(Verse)
She [D]grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
[F]Ballet, Straight As, [G]most likely to su [D]cceed
They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
[F]Put her on the fast track [G]to a law deg [D]ree
Now shes [A]comin home to visit
Holdin the hand
Of a [C]wild-eyed boy
with a [G]farmers tan
(Chorus)
And she's [D]ridin in the [D/C]middle of his [G]pickup [D]truck
Blarin' Charlie [D/C]Daniels yellin, [G]Turn it [D]up!
They raised her up a [D/C]lady
But theres [G]one thing they couldnt av [A]oid
[C]Ladies love [G]country [D]boys
Yeah, you know [D]mommas and daddys want better for their daughters
Hope theyll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In their [F]uptown, ball gown, [G]hand-me-down royalt [D]y
They [A]never understand
why their princess falls
For some [C]camouflage britches
And a [G]southern boy drawl
Or why shes [D]ridin in the [D/C]middle of a [G]pickup [D]truck
Blarin Hank [D/C]Jr. yellin, [G]Turn it [D]up!
They raised her up a [D/C]lady
But theres [G]one thing they couldnt av [A]oid
[C]Ladies love [G]country [D]boys
You can [A5]train em
You can try to teach em right from wrong
But its [C5]still gonna turn em [G5]on
When they go [D]ridin in the [D/C]middle of a [G]pickup [D]truck
D/C NC
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, Turn it up!
You can [D]raise her up a [D/C]lady
But theres [G]one thing you just cant av [A]oid
[C]Ladies love [G]country [D]boys
She [D]grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
