[Intro] Yeah, she says he’s got manners I say manners don’t make a man [Verse 1] You traded my porch for a downtown view Now you’re riding shotgun with a latte crew He says his little Prius got a lot of heart But it runs on strawberry douche when he turns the key to start He’s got skinny jeans and a spotless ride No mud on the tires, no callus on his hands He talks real smooth ’bout the life he can provide But can he pull a deer when the season lands? [Pre-Chorus] You don’t call a stranger when the night gets long You don’t say my name when the city lights come on If you’re so happy, girl, tell me why Your phone keeps lighting up on my side [Chorus] How’s that smart car gonna haul your deer? How’s that city boy gonna get you outta here? When the road turns gravel and the creek runs high Will he take you fishin’ or just tell you why? That Prius ain’t built for the places you love No four-wheel drive, no boots in the mud You can paint him pretty, but the truth cuts through He ain’t country enough to keep up with you [Verse 2] He orders his steak with a fork and a plan I cook mine over fire with a beer in my hand He says the outdoors are a weekend trend I know every backroad where the blacktop ends Can he launch that boat with a city slicker grin? Can he bait a hook without calling his friends? Can he ride through a field when the rain comes down? Or will he lose cell service and turn back around? He can lease that car and flash that little smile But love ain’t measured by a monthly mile You love the red dirt, the dust, and the view And every wild thing you used to do with me too [Pre-Chorus] You don’t call a stranger when the night gets long You don’t say my name when the city lights come on If you’re so happy, girl, tell me why Your phone keeps lighting up on my side [Chorus] How’s that smart car gonna haul your deer? How’s that city boy gonna get you outta here? When the road turns gravel and the creek runs high Will he take you fishin’ or just tell you why? That Prius ain’t built for the places you love No four-wheel drive, no boots in the mud You can paint him pretty, but the truth cuts through He ain’t country enough to keep up with you [Bridge] He can show you restaurants with names you can’t spell I can show you a ridge where the sunset falls well He can talk about torque like he learned it online I can hear an engine cough and know it’s fine So go on, girl, let him hold your hand But when you miss these hills, you know where I stand That city boy’s got you dressed in blue But your heart still smells like cedar and smoke from our old two-step room [Final Chorus] How’s that smart car gonna haul your deer? How’s that city boy gonna get you outta here? When the road turns gravel and the creek runs high Will he take you fishin’ or just tell you why? That Prius ain’t built for the places you love No four-wheel drive, no boots in the mud You can paint him pretty, but the truth cuts through He ain’t country enough to keep up with you [Outro] Tell him I said bless his heart, let him try But don’t call me laughing when that little car gets stuck outside You can love a city boy, but you know it ain’t true If he can’t get dirty, he can’t keep up with you
