| 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
|
| Cause 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 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
|
| Well my boston girl she’s read in the New York Times
|
| That it was very chic now to speak southern lines
|
| Though she sound kinda funny when she says ya’ll come agane
|
| Hey the new south thank god is still the same
|
| The new south is still the same and I’m damn glad of it
|
| I don’t want no little ol danish rolls I must have ham and grits
|
| And my Boston girl says she likes it lovin on the river bank
|
| Hey the new south thank god is still the same
|
| And this Boston girl says she likes it down here lovin by the river bank
|
| With ol Hank
|
| Cause the new south thank god is still the same ya’ll come again |
