Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walk in I turned around, I'm not a stalker Where you going? Maybe I can help you My tank is full, and I'd be obliged to take you [Chorus] I'm a country boy, I've got a 4-wheel drive Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride Up city streets, down country roads I can get you where you need to go 'cause I'm a country boy You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat Buckle up, I'll take you through the five speeds Wind it up, or I can slow it way down In the woods or right uptown [Chorus] Big 35's whinin' on the asphalt Grabbin' mud, and slingin' up some red dirt 'cause I'm a country boy My muffler's loud, dual Thrush tubes I crank the music, the tone gets real good Let me know when we're gettin' close You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road [Chorus] Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt Lockin' hubs, that'll take you through a deep rut [Chorus: x2]
