Lyrics

I’m just a country boy, I drive a four-by-four
It’s usually covered in mud, from the axle to the door
It’s a little banged up, a little too much rust
But when you’re sittin’ beside me in my old truck

You make that look good, honey, better than it should
Might as well say Cadillac there on the hood
The way you flash that smile, girl the way you look
No matter what you do, you make that look good

In your old flip-flops, in your worn-out jeans
In that little tank top, you’re still a beauty queen
Sittin’ there on the steps, paintin’ your toenails
With your hair put up in a ponytail

You make that look good, honey, better than it should
Is that my front porch or Hollywood?
The way you flash that smile, girl the way you look
No matter what you do, you make that look good

Boys will be boys, we like running around
Paintin’ the town, don’t know a thing about settling down
Oh, but baby right now

You make that look good, honey, better than it should
Always swore I couldn’t, now I’m thinkin’ I could
The way you flash that smile, girl the way you look
No matter what you do, you make that look good
No matter what you do, you make that look good
