| Seth and me in college. Aw. |
Ladies Love Country Boys, by Trace Adkins (Let's start here....is Trace a real name? Seriously?)
She grew up in the city in a little subdivision (Kinda)
Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken (dead on. My daddy is a lawyer and my mother has never fried anything in her life)
Ballet, straight-As, most likely to succeed (*blush*)
They bought her a car after graduation (bought it myself, but whatev)
Sent her down South for some higher education (If you count Champaign as South, which I absolutely did when I went to school there. I thought it was the smallest town in the world. Compared to where I live now, it's NYC. God laughs.)
Put her on the fast track to a law degree (Guilty again)
Now she's coming home to visit (Indeed)
Holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy (No one has ever accused Seth of being wild)
With a farmer's tan (but he sure does have a farmer's tan all the time)
She's riding in the middle of his pickup truck (I do love me a good truck ride)
Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, Turn it up! (Nope)
They raised her up a lady but there's one thing (Phrase heard most often in my childhood: "sit like a lady" You can't make this stuff up)
They couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys (It's so true)
You know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters (Not true. My family would trade me in for Seth in a hot second. They adore him)
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer (Yes, true)
And their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty (Eh)
They never understand why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches and a southern-boy-drawl (Bwhahahaha)
Or why she's riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, Turn it up! (Still no. My classical country interest in limited to Johnny Cash)
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 (How exactly?)
Right from wrong but it's still gonna turn em on (Heart wants what it wants, eh?)
And they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd, yelling, Turn it up! (O/3 here)
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 (I really do)

There you have it! The song my family thinks most describes my life. Ha!
P.S. Grammar police are hitting the roof on this one! Sorry!
