Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(upbeat country music)

♪ Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walking ♪

♪ I turned around, I'm not a stalker ♪

♪ Where you going? Maybe I can help you ♪

♪ My tank is full, I'd be obliged to take you ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-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 ♪

(upbeat country music continues)

♪ You sure look good, sitting in my right seat ♪

♪ Buckle up, and I'll take you through the five speeds ♪

♪ Wind it up, or I can slow it way down ♪

♪ In the woods or right uptown ♪

♪ I'm a country boy, I've got a four-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 ♪

(upbeat country music continues)

♪ Big 35's whining on the asphalt ♪

♪ Grabbing mud, and slinging 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 getting close ♪

♪ You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-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 wanna go ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy ♪

(upbeat country music continues)

♪ Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt ♪

♪ Locking hubs, that'll take you through a deep rut ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive ♪

♪ Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride ♪

♪ Up city streets, down winding roads ♪

♪ I can get you where you need to go ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy ♪

(upbeat country music intensifies)

♪ Yeah I'm a country boy, I've got a four-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 wanna go ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a country boy ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm a country boy ♪

♪ Oh, I'm just a country boy ♪

♪ A nice little country boy ♪
