The New South Lyrics

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
