The New South

Last fall we elected the man from plains

and there was lots of talk about a great big chance

but the Atlanta Braves still loose to many games

and the new south thank God is still the same

old Nashville's still got a song and dance

and the Florida girls still wear no underpants

and we all get drunk at the football games

and the new south thank God is still the same

Now my old grandaddy he still farms the land

and down in miami they voted in the all over tan

and I'm hooked on those Carolina dreams

and the new south thank God is still the same

The new south is still the same and I'm so glad of it

I don't want no little ol danish rolls I must have ham and grits

and my woman does look good in her t-shirt standin in the georgia rain

and the new south thank god is still the same

Now my boston girl she's read in the New York Times

that it would vary she now to speak southern lines

don't she sound kinda funny when she says ya'll come agane

and the new south thank god is still the same

and my boston girl says she likes it down here by the river bank

and the new south thank god is still the same

The new south is still the same and I'm so glad of it

I don't want no little ol danish rolls I must have ham and grits

and my woman does look good in her t-shirt standin in the georgia rain

and the new south thank god is still the same

and my boston girl says she likes it down here by the river bank

with ol hank

and the new south thank god is still the same ya'll come again
