Hank Williams Jr. — New South

[Verse 1] Last fall, we elected the man from plains And there was lots of talk about a great big change But the Atlanta Braves, they 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 [Chorus] 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 woman does look good in her T-shirt Standin' in the Georgia rain And the new south, thank God, is still the same [Verse 2] 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 sounds kinda funny when she says, "Y'all come again" Hey, the new south, thank God, is still the same [Chorus] 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 the Boston girl says she likes it Lovin' on the river bank Hey, the new south, thank God, is still the same [Outro] 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 Y'all come again
