Rodeo Drive in her cowboy boots
Palm trees shading them southern roots
Hotter than a ring of fire
She's a black dress baby with a blue jean heart
Dirty martini in a mason jar
Honky-tonk angel on a rooftop bar
Spinning like a rope swing tire
Oh, and she might leave
But she takes Tennessee all round the world
No, you can't take the country outta my girl
Can't take the country outta my girl, oh-ohh
You can take the girl outta the country
But you can't take the country outta my
Girl outta the country
You can't take the country outta my girl
