Carolina Boys
Lee Brice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my cowboy boots
And my baby blues
Staring at you from across the room
Did you see me looking at you
Yes you did
I saw you looking
Looking at your legs
Looking at your thighs
Looking at your back side
Did you see me looking at your man
I don't understand what a woman do
With a boy like him
A boy like him
I saw your man standing there
And I gave him a glare
And I swear he looked
Pretty scared to me
I saw him swallow his pride
And I looked deep in his eyes and he decided didn't wanna
Take this outside
Cause Carolina boys get rowdy loud
Yes we do
Don't look at me
Ill turn your whole world upside down
Cause we get rowdy loud
Didn't mean to scare you
With my rowdy redneck friends
But I couldn't help but notice you walk in
With him
In his 3 piece suit and his penny loafer shoes
Girl tell me what am I gonna do with you
Do you want to ride
Do you want to dance all night
Do you want to take a little
Trip in my 4 wheel drive
It might get rowdy loud
Now tell the truth girl
You saw a new world
The moment that you laid your pretty little
Eyes on me
Well ill give you something to think about
Something to talk about
Tell the whole world about a boy like me
Cause Carolina boys get rowdy loud
Yes we do
Don't look at me
Ill turn your whole world upside down
Cause Carolina boys get rowdy loud
Yes we do
Don't look at me
Ill turn your whole world upside down
Cause we get rowdy!
We're know to get rowdy
We get rowdy!
We get rowdy loud!
Ah ha girl!
Whats wrong with you?
You wanna talk a walk out to my truck with me?
Nah your bf wont mind
I'll go ask him
The lyrics of Lee Brice’s song Carolina Boys depict the story of a young man looking at a woman in a bar while her boyfriend is standing close by. The singer is observing the female, making several remarks about her body, while also mocking her boyfriend. The main message of the song is that Carolina boys are known to be loud and rowdy, which creates the idea that the young man is trying to prove his worth to the woman by proving he is one of those rowdy boys.
The lyrics of this song represent the stereotypical depiction of the southern culture, often referred to as ‘redneck’ culture. Brice uses this song to display his Southern pride, specifically from his state of origin, Carolina. It utilises typical Southern colloquialisms and phrases, such as ‘boy like him’ and ‘rowdy loud’. The song also portrays the common narrative of men fighting over a woman, with the singer waiting for the other guy (the woman's boyfriend) to start a fight, thus proving that he is the dominant and more desirable male.

Did you see me looking cool in my white tee shirt
I was trying to look good in my white tee shirt and cowboy boots in hopes of catching your attention
And my baby blues
I was hoping my blue eyes would also catch your attention
Staring at you from across the room
I couldn't help but look at you from a distance
Did you see me looking at you
I know you saw me looking at you
Yes you did
You acknowledged me looking at you
Did ya see me looking at your eyes
I couldn't help but stare into your beautiful eyes
Looking at your legs
I was also admiring your legs
Looking at your thighs
I couldn't help but notice your thighs too
Looking at your back side
I was checking out your backside as well
Did you see me looking at your man
I noticed that you were with a guy and I couldn't understand why
I don't understand what a woman do
I couldn't understand why a woman would choose to be with a guy like him
With a boy like him
He didn't seem like someone I would expect you to be with
I saw your man standing there
I noticed your boyfriend standing nearby
And I gave him a glare
I gave him a look to let him know I was interested in you
And I swear he looked
He seemed nervous when he saw me looking at both of you
Pretty scared to me
His body language suggested that he was intimidated by me
I saw him swallow his pride
When I looked at him, he seemed to be trying to hold back his emotions
And I looked deep in his eyes and he decided didn't wanna
I looked at him intensely and he decided not to escalate the situation
Take this outside
He didn't want to get into a fight with me outside
Cause Carolina boys get rowdy loud
Carolina guys can be wild and loud
Don't look at me
Don't look at me the wrong way, or I might get aggressive
Ill turn your whole world upside down
If you mess with me or my friends, I can easily retaliate and cause chaos
Didn't mean to scare you
I wasn't trying to frighten you
With my rowdy redneck friends
I was just hanging out with my loud and crazy friends
But I couldn't help but notice you walk in
I couldn't help but notice you entering the room
With him
with your boyfriend
In his 3 piece suit and his penny loafer shoes
Your boyfriend was wearing a fancy suit and shoes
Girl tell me what am I gonna do with you
I couldn't help but be attracted to you despite your commitment to your boyfriend
Do you want to ride
Would you like to go on a drive with me
Do you want to dance all night
Would you like to dance with me all night
Do you want to take a little
Would you like to have a small adventure with me
Trip in my 4 wheel drive
Would you like to go for a ride in my off-road vehicle
It might get rowdy loud
It might be a loud and wild time
Now tell the truth girl
Be honest with me now
You saw a new world
You saw a different kind of guy with me
The moment that you laid your pretty little
The moment you saw me and realized I was different
Eyes on me
You were intrigued by me
Well ill give you something to think about
I'll give you something to ponder
Something to talk about
Something that will give you and your friends something to chat about
Tell the whole world about a boy like me
Spread the word about me and what I can offer
Ah ha girl!
Hey girl!
Whats wrong with you?
What's the matter?
You wanna talk a walk out to my truck with me?
Do you want to come outside and chat with me near my vehicle?
Nah your bf wont mind
Your boyfriend won't mind if we talk for a bit
I'll go ask him
I'll ask him first to avoid any issues
