              E               D           A 
Excuse me ma?am, I saw you walk in 
E               D          A 
I turned around, I?m not a stalker 
E               D           A 
Where you goin? Maybe I can help ya 
E                        G             A 
My tank is full, and I?d be obliged to take ya 
 
 
Chorus: 
E                             D        A 
I?m a country boy, I?ve got a 4 wheel drive 
E                      D             A 
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride 
E                D             A 
Up city streets, down country roads 
E                      D       A 
I can get ya where you need to go 
E                         D A 
?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 
 
Solo ( E D A ) 
 
Bridge: 
 
B 
Big 35?s whinin? on the asphalt 
A                                        
Grabbin? mud, and slingin? up some red dirt 
E 
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 
 
B 
Bucket seats, soft as baby?s new butt 
A 
Lockin? hubs, that?ll take ya through a deep rut 
 
Chorus (talked, light strumming)
