Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walkin'
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

You sure look good, sittin' 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

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

'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 want to go
'Cause I'm a country boy

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

Yeah

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 want to 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.
