Story Behind The Song

A little fantasy I turned into a song.

Song Description

Comedic but fun story of an unexpected love affair between a country girl passing through the city and catching the heart of a city boy in a band..then off to the country they go for marriage and family on the farm.

Lyrics

Daisy's Dukes
(James G. Dunlop)

The first she walked in I was on the stage again
She was wearing' Daisy Dukes and boots on high
She ordered up a beer and then she grabbed herself a chair
Tipped back her cowgirl hat and gave me the eye
The band we took a break and then I saw her come my way
Double fisted with two shots and miller lites
She says she's only passin through 'cuz she's only passing through
She'd been born to live and love the country side
I told her city streets was the only thing I'd seen
I was born to run the jungle of neon lights
And though I appreciate the beer, I really gotta be sincere
There ain't nothing' like the thrill of city life

But she tried to find the country in this city boy
She was trying hard to make me change my way
She even filled up the old Jukebox as we got to talk some more
Playin' Reba, Willie, Garth, Lyle and George Strait

The next night she came back, but now her daisy's dukes were plaid
She says she's suffering through one more city night
We both laughed and when my show was done
We talked until we saw the sun
Rising up above the country and skylines

Now I can't explain it everything was changing
I jumped into her pickup truck
We headed for the highway I left it all behind
She had a lasso around my waist
My accent started to change
Before too long there was nothing but horses and hillsides

I guess she finally found the country in this city boy
It didn't take her very long to get to me
"Cuz we're livin' here in Knoxville with our little boy
And the beer is just as good in Tennessee
Yeah the beer is just as good in Tennessee
