(This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there)
She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma 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
And shes ridin in the middle of his pickup truck
Blarin Charlie Daniels yellin, "Turn it up!"
They raised her up a lady
but there's one thing they couldn't avoid
Yeah, you know momma's and daddy's want better for their daughters
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty
For some camouflage britches
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
(oooh, get country with it)
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
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, "Turn it up!"
You can raise her up a lady
but there's one thing you jus can't avoid
They love us country boys
It's that country thing you know
