[English]

Some boys like heels and short skirts

Rooftop girls and twenty-dollar drinks

Some boys want them pretty as a picture

Hanging on their arm, not saying a thing

Ooh, if that's what you're looking for

Ooh, then I ain't what you're looking for

But if you wanna ride real slow

Winding down a red dirt road

Maybe crank a little old George Jones

Something in your sweet tea

You're barking up the right tree

If you like a sky full of stars

You ain't gotta look too far

Love you on the back porch

Kiss you on the dance floor

In a t-shirt and faded jeans

I'm a country boy's dream girl

Girls like me like to kick it on a river bank

And go out in cowboy boots

Fire in a field, tailgate, four wheels

Sixer on ice with nothing to do

I can make your wish come true

If you wanna ride real slow

Winding down a red dirt road

Maybe crank a little Curtis Loew

Something in your sweet tea

You're barking up the right tree

If you like a sky full of stars

You ain't gotta look too far

Love you on the back porch

Kiss you on the dance floor

In a t-shirt and faded jeans

I'm a country boy's dream girl

Ooh, if that's what you're looking for

Ooh, then boy, I'm what you're looking for

If you wanna ride real slow

Winding down a red dirt road

Maybe crank a little old George Jones

Something in your sweet tea

You're barking up the right tree

If you like a sky full of stars

You ain't gotta look too far

Love you on the back porch

Kiss you on the dance floor

In a t-shirt and faded jeans

I'm a country boy's dream girl

I'm a country boy's dream girl

I'm a country boy's dream girl
